he should be fine but would prefer to be up on the rocks. they are light hogs, that's not to say that he won't be fine down on the bottom, just happier up higher. i keep my crocea halfway up in my tank under 400W halides.

watch for him losing color ( obviously ok so far ) or over extending his mantle ( tough seeing as crocea's are pretty lose with their mantles anyway )
