my lighting and sps

all clams natural enviornments are on the sandbed. the rocks imo are unnatural for a clam and if it decides to move and it falls it might cause havoc to the rock structure and any corals below it

 

I am somewhat confused. Perhaps just me, but an open brain is an LPS (large polyp stoney coral)

Your current lighting is more than sufficient to keep LPS. You could also keep a clam. Start with a Derasa as they are hardier, require less intense lighting and less expensive. Try to get one at least 2 inches in size or larger.

 

Wait, clams can move??

 

Maxima and Crocea are rock boring clams. Derasa and Squamosa live on the substrate.

 

clams can move, they are just very slow and careless.

 

+eleventy billion

 

When have you seen a clam move???

 

i stand corrected, but that is not my point exactly, i dont believe his light would be enough for a clam.

 

Yes you are correct lps - my bad

So the brain being on the sand is fine? he seems to be doing fine I just wanted to make sure

 

It's quite enough for a Derasa, as Corailline stated.
