Anyone keeping a maxima/crocea under T5's?

I have a Derasa on my sandbed and it's doing great. Wanted to try a maxima or crocea up on the rocks. What do you think? Would one be a better choice than the other?

It is a risk. Most would agree that maxima or crocea need more light than that... especially in the sandbed. MH is recommended for those two types of clams.
 
While I can't say yes I can say I keep two crocea's under 5 T5 bulbs on my 40G.

They are located about 8 inches from the water in my 16" deep tank.

I'm running 1 Sun, 3 AquaBlues and 1 Actinic.
 
I have both in a 75G with 8X54W.They have been on the sandbed for the last 3 months-they kept jumping of the rocks.
