I have done some research and just bought a crocea clam today so I think I can be of some help.
For crocea and maxima clams MH lighting is a must for long term success. They need a stable tank(at least 6 monthes old I think) and good water quality(especially crocea). They benifit from phytoplankton feedings, especially when they're little. <a href="http://www.reefcorner.com/clams.htm" target="_blank">This site</a> has lots of info on clams.
