    Dual T5HO is not that much light where it should bleach on a favia, my vote is for either flow or just stressed and acclimating from handling. Corals can take a week or so to recover.

    As far as light I am pretty sure a dual bulb is not enough for any clams. I can not say for sure on this but many of the commonly offered clams are very high light, and even some that are ok with T5HO lighting would prob need mroe than a dualbulb.
