Deresa Clam and Squamosa Clam - Can I have them under 260w PC?

[chrisbenavides]

Just wondering if I can keep these type of clams under 260w of PC lighting?

I would be buying them from marinedepotlive: http://www.marinedepotlive.com/clams.html

Would also like to know about placement (can I place them up high in the rocks, or need to be on sand?) Does it need to be in the sand, or can I keep it up high where it would be closer to light?

What about Predation? I have a Gold Coral Banded Shrimp, a cleaner shrimp, several blue leg crabs, Yellow Tang, Royal Gramma Basslet, Clownfish, and a Mothersailfin Blenny. Would it be ok?

I just noticed that liveaquaria.com is offering them. Which vendor do you think is a better choice (from experience), do you think? Also, I would like to know if I can first of all keep these clams under this type of lighting.

Got some good info at clamsdirect.com at their forum.

Found the answer. Thanks!!

Next question: Can I keep Squamosa up high on the rocks?
