Can I keep a clam?

Can I keep a clam under a Nova Extreme fixture? Its 4x54watts.
I have a 72gal tank which isnt that tall.
Thanks
The Derasa clam looks amazing on this site, could I specifically keep that clam?

yes you could. i have a copper brown maxima with violet stripes on the sandbed with the same lighting

Yesss! If I buy a Derasa clam will it look like the picture they have on this website?

do u have a coral light or a normal light?

How many K is your lights? I personaly wouldn't keep any clam under anything but metal halides, and with that type lighting don't keep your hopes up of it opening up and colors exploding like you see in some pics. For a 72g I'd get two sets of 14K 150 or 250w Metal Halides.

You will do fine keeping a derasa under that light fixture. I have the exact same fixture over a derasas clam and he is perfectly happy, and has been for 8 months.

yes ur t5 will be fine. i dont know why people r so against t5. i hv kept most of my sps under the nova 4x54w for months b4 upgrading to 6x54w. make sure to keep ur clacium at 400-450. this is the derasa clam i got from swf.com back in early december. he measured about 2.5-3 inches when i got it. now it is about 3.5.
