Maxima Clam, AI Vegas

[Nuttyreefer]

I have 3 clam

[freeze]

I have two maximas that are on the bottom of my 18" cube and my AI sol's are mounted 15" off the surface of the water. With sand bed and flat rock they are on they are 30" from the led's and are totally fine.

Just watch the clam, if it is kinda closed up it may be getting too much light, if it is really overly stretched out it may not be getting enough light. There are other reasons for it to be closed up or overly stretched, but light is one of the reasons.

Maxima clams - especially 'brighter, vibrant' ones require the most light out the most commonly found varieties: Maxima, Squamosa, Derasa. I think you have more than enough lighting. In fact; I'd be a little concerned if it was introduced directly underneath the LED fixture.

If it appears "happy" then I wouldn't change a thing. Like most corals (especially under LED lit displays); I would start the clam along the periphery and move the clam inwards and upwards (if necessary) to your desired location.
