I kept a squamosa for about 1 year under 250 & 400w MH in the bottom of my tank, didn't feed it. It was always open and responsive, didn't grow much in 1 year though, but at the time I was not maintaining my calcium levels because the clam was the only calcium dependant organism in my tank.

Sort of skipped a couple of years in the poll. I have had my clams for more than a year but less than 3 years.
Anyway I have a Squamosa and a Derasa on the sandbed. 3 Croceas and a teardrop in the rockwork. 400W MH light. I dose my tank daily with Phytofeast. Was dosing with DT's but found the Phytofeast a more cost effective method. I run a calcium reactor (Precision Marine 622) So far able to keep up and have not had to suppliment calcium. ASM G4X protein skimmer with mods Bi weekly water changes of 10-15% 230g tank with 77g sump/fuge Clams have all grown in the past year but by far the most growth on the Derasa - probably doubled in size in the past 6 months.
