Clams require moderate water flow. YES, it is possible to have too much flow causing them to stress out and their mantle to not open up fully, which ultimately will lead to bleaching of its mantle(contains zooxanthellae)and death.
try to avoid laminar current as well(one way stream) and direct flow of water by your powerhead for best results.
