Hi,
I just got a crocea clam a week ago and he is currently sitting at the bottom of my 46 gal bow front with a 250watt Metal Halide over it. The MH is running aqualine 10k bulb, its about 6 inches from water level and i think about 18 inches from the clam (i lost my measuing tape) . The Mh is on about 12 hours a day and no other lights. Well since i got my clam i notice his meat or innerds (not sure what you call it) has been extended out more lately. Does this mean his dieing or wants more light. I;m thinking hes dieing because he's getting too much light. Any advice, i'm a newbie. thanks a bunch
