Tridacna Crocea Clam

[StarGazer_1]

I was thinking of getting a Tridacna Crocea Clam
Is there any way I can glue a plexiglas shelf in the corner of my tank to place him on while there is water in my tank?
I wanna keep him high.
Thx

You can use Locktite gel. Gel the shelf and then stick it in the tank. It should seal fairly quick. Why don't you just put him on a tall rock-stack rather thank modifying your tank? HTH

What kind of lights do you have and what size tank?

Well IMO I don't think you have enough light for a crocea. I think PC's just don't cut it for the their lighting needs. You may want to look into a squamosa, derasa, or gigas clam and place it high in the tank. These clams do get very large though so a plan has to be in order for when it gets too big.
