I'm extremely excited about the purchase of my very first clam. And I'm really happy with the one I picked out, it's a beauty. It's a 3-4" Squamosa, beautiful maroon coloring, with spots of yellow and blue, and outlined in green. I'll post pics later, haven't had a chance to take any. Just got him on Saturday, and he is already doing splendidly. In my 55g, I've got him up towards the top (for a focal point, rather than for the lighting), in a "bowl" shaped rock, with some sand in it. I know he is doing well, we've got full mantle extension, good response rate, bright colors, but I'm wondering about my flow. I'm running two Seio 620s, and I've actually got the clam somewhat close to one of them, although he is positioned further back in the tank than the extension of the powerhead. I've noticed that every once in awhile, his mantle is slightly "lifted" on one side, very subtle though, not real strong flow over him. Like I said, the mantle is fully extended, and he seems to be doing great, should I still move him, or will the little amount of flow be okay?
