Clam Mantle

WHen I first got my clam it was under a 150 watt halide with a coralife bulb, the bulb was about 10 months old. THe clam is about 4 inches and its matle was about 3 inches wide across sticking out. I recnelty changed the bulb to a new 14k phoenix 150 watt and now the mantle is only about 1 inch wide. I knwo this is becuase the bulb is newer and stronger. My question is what is the proper width the mantle should stick out for a crocea when it has the right amount of light and is not struggling to collect light.

you probably shocked the clam with the new lights...how is the other coral doing in your tank?
