Can a clam be successfully be kept under PC lighting if up high enough in the tank? How about T5s?

You might have luck with a squamosa. Enough T5 and you might get away with maximas or croceas.

I keep a small crocea 24" down from 4 24W T5HO I use 2x12K, 1x Actinic, 1x Blue+ and he does good. I havent noticed alot of growth and it has been about 3 months.

I also dose Coral Snow and have started dosing Spongepower.

Pretty much the same here. Ive since moved him to my 150g, but he was fine under the T5's
