I unintentionally found this effect MH have on clams colors. Thought I will share it will fellow reefers if they are interested. About a mth ago I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain a deresa clam. Only problem is that the clam has already lost its color.

Notice the left side of the clam. There is a difference in the color. It seems the color of the mantle in that area color has not improved from the day I got it.

This is because that small area of the mantle is often folded becoz of my wavemaker. I haven since readjust my flow to color up that spot.

It's like covering part of you while tanning.

I know it's basic knowledge that light combine with good water parameters will intensify a clams color. I'm just sharing what I feel is interesting.

Btw I'm using 2x 250w 14k phoenix bulbs when pictures are taken
