Can i handle a clam now?

I use one actinic coralife and 3 Aquatic life bulbs, 10k and 2 blues

And the reflector is an aquatic life fixture...individual reflectors.

 

Individual factors play out well for the part of higher lighting corals and inverts such as clams, however I would try to up your bulbs if you plan on keeping any of the higher light clams.

 

Okay..would it be okay for a Derasa though?

 

Probably, Id wait till someone who knows chimes in. As derasa's chill on the sand bed but require less light and all. But the more the better. I'd personally Upgrade to ATI or GieseMann bulbs.

 

Here's a link for the proper care of Derasa Clams.

Looks like ill be okay with a derasa then...Ill just cross my fingers and hope the best!
