I have mainly LPS and zoa's ,and some mushies as well. I'm not expecting any growth ,I just want to make sure I can keep them alive until I get my tank back up on its feet again.

So ,can I keep 'em under t8's for a while ??

Not sure about the corals (you might be able to sustain them for some time by feeding them occasionally). But I doubt about the clam though. Croceas are light hungry stuffs.
