Crocea Clams are easy to keep when provided with proper light, calcium levels, and food. Crocea Clams may be kept under strong fluorescent lighting (4-5 watts per gal.), however they will thrive under metal halide lighting. Calcium levels should be kept at 400-450 ppm. The use of Kalkwasser Mix, or a calcium reactor is a tremendous benefit to all clams. They need the calcium to grow and build their shells.

Although clams consume dissolved organic substances and inorganic nutrients such as ammonia and nitrate you should supplement their diet with marine snow, and phytoplankton.

When placing clams make sure to protect the byassus opening on the bottom of their shell by burying it in the sand, or resting it on top of a rock. Do not try to move the clam once it has attached to a rock. You could kill it.

I seen a clam under 235 watts t5s and it was rocking but the person also had a calcium reactor i think the calcium really plays a part

I have 4 clams, 2 derassas and 2 maxim's under 400w MH's. I run dosers and they seem to do really well. The key is staying consistent and making sure you find good spots for them, meaning I have one that detached from a rock and now it's in the sand and refuses to stay up so I have to find a new spot on a rock and real estate is tight!

FYI-couldn't get enough confirms in time and the two clams I wanted are gone so I am out. You guys feel free to order if you still want this GB.
