I have had clams in the past so I know all about them and there recuirments,but I have never had Crocea clams always Maxima.
So these are my new ones these pics were taken about 3 days after I got them ,basicly I want to know if they look alright.

They look a little "off" compared to the other ones I have had which extended there mantles well over the edge of there shell.These ones dont extend nearly as much as my old maximas.
They are in a 65G with 1-150W 10K halide and 2 96W actinics.
the clams are 4-5" each.

The only big difference from before is I have ALOT more flow in this tank,I think possibly they MIGHT be getting to much flow,although there mantles are not getting "ruffled" in the water so I just dont know.
Do Crocea not open as much as Maxima possibly?

Anyways what do you guys think?

they should be fine. try placing them right under your lights. your tank looks pretty deep. and clean that cyano!!! (which is also sometimes a sign of low alkalinity so test that as well ;))
