If I did it correctly I attached a video file to this post. My question is based off the video, is my crocea clam getting to much flow?

Also if you have any advice as to what is to much flow and what is the perfect flow?

I know the mantle folding in on itself is to much, but any advice on this subject will help.
Thanks in advance
 
It's attached I watched it last night. Hmm let me check again
 
Okay I uploaded it to YouTube.its just a short clip, let me know if you think the clam is happy and if he is receiving to much flow? Main question is about flow for clams?

Here's the link

 
I agree but on the plus side if it was truly in happy it wouldn't be wide open like that. Just take a little bit of current away. What is that just to the right of it in the video?

There's a Ricordia mushroom to the right

I can't tell the difference at this point. Just doing the "is that a sandbed or rock clam" check.

It's a crocea clam.
 
Okay so it's a tad to much . Hmm I have been messing with the flow and it seems like anywhere I move them just adds to much flow on other corals. Maybe I have to much flow altogether?? I have a marine land 900, 1200, and a 400

In the picture the 900 is on the left 1200 on the right and 400 on the back glass.
