Placement of Clams

waime · September 2, 2008

hi gurus,

i have 2 clams at the moment which i placed at the sand bed and resting on flat LR and partial seashell.

browsing through the Clam Pics thread i saw some fellow reefers here place their claims on LR, between LR or flat on the sand bed.

is there an "correct" way to place your clams? or typically anywhere is fine as long the clam is comfortable and does not topple?

:thanks:

Anywhere with strong lighting is fine as long as the clam doesn't topple.

Some clams are placed on LR at top area so that the lights can reach them better. Others place them on sand bed but they use MH so the strong rays of MH can reach them. I've tried both and as I'm only using T5, my clams placed at the bottom slowly loose their colours. By the time I move them back upwards, it's too late so my advise is to place them on top if you're not using MH :peace: .
