simple answer... you can keep anything under PC's.. I have had several different LPS, SPS, Anemone, and yes a maxima clam (lived over a year and died as a result of a tank over temp, along with most of the tank) but and I mean a big BUT you have to position them properly in the tank, ie clam and SPS as high as you can get them.. I think I had them 8 to 10" under the surface at most. and I did notice a slight improvement in the SPS when I added a 175 watt MH, and a huge improvement when I went to 250watt SE on HQI ballasts. so it all comes down to how much rock you have to get them up where they need to be. Oh and as a side note some LPS do better under intense lighting also, My Brain loves MH, my mushrooms went nuts and spread all over under MH, ect...
