are there any clams that can do good under 384 watts of pc lighting?
Actually, I recommend getting one that is 3-4 inches instead so you can avoid having to target feed it. A crocea may be okay under your lighting because they are rock dwelling species. Place it higher up on the rockwork on a flat area that will allow it to expand fully. Other species like the deresa or squimosa are considered "lower-light" clams, but this comes with a catch...They prefer to be placed on the substrate and as such, require more intense lighting from the top of the tank so it will penetrate all the way to the bottom.ok thanks! i'll def. try to get a smallish one.
