Im with MYKA on this one, how many bulbs do you have on there 4 I had a 8 bulb fixture on my tank and i had to have my maxima and crocea about 6-8" from the top of the water or mine lost its color and started to not open up 100%. Of course the clam will open right up as soon as you get it into the tank. its looking for lights and filtering the water.
I would be concerned about the long nose butterfly in your tank. sexy fish and all but I hope he doesnt take to you clam.. good luck on that..
