![]() I bought a Crocea clam about 3 months ago with very bright colors. But in my tank I don't have the same colors. It seemed to lose it's bright colors after about a month. I'm dosing with tropic marin bio calcium around 400-450ppm. I have a Tek5 6x54 T5 the same fixture the clam was under in the store. I was told that the light would work. Perhaps I'm missing a suppliment?
here is a pic so you can see the discoloration. ![]() |

![]() It's attached to a small rock that it came with. I moved it closer to the light to see if it helps. I should have bought a squamosa or dursa.

![]() Maybe your bulbs are new LFS's are old or vise versa = light shock can cause bleaching same with temp changes. Has it attached yet? If it gets any worse I'd move it.
