I have been doing a little research on clams and have read that you can succesfully keep certain clams under pcs. I also read that watts per gallon dont matter as much as light intensity. From what I gather is that you could keep a clam like deresa about half way up a tank with 3-4 watts per gallon directly under the light. If im wrong please feel free to correct me, I new to clams.

I would not think of trying any clam under pc
IF and a strong IF I tried any clam it would be a dreasa.

Those are all awsome clams guys. Keep it up.

Here's six Tridacna clams in order of least light-demanding to the most.
T. teveroa
T. gigas
T. derasa
T. squamosa
T. maxima
T. crocea
A seventh species, T. rosewateri, has been discovered in the Indian Ocean, but not much is known about this species.

 

[reefiness]

i think that H. hippopus needs less light but it is not seen as much as the tridacna clams.
