Thinking about getting a clam

[nivram]

Those of you that have successfully kept clams before...any tips on keeping them?

Strong light, medium flow, clean water as you keep sps.

If not doing so already, run carbon. It helps with PMD if it's a problem.

How about keeping one with Angels?. Marvin dont you have Angels?

The more colorful maximas and croceas need lots of light, think shallow water SPS lighting. Squamosa will do well with somewhat lower lighting.

All clams also do well with cocktail or tartar sauce. Also chowder

Eddie I have two angel and they don't bother my clam. I think reefers blame angels for everything that goes wrong in the tank

So if I'm able to keep acros, clams should not be an issue?
