Lighting requirements for clams and brain corals

[drwwalker]

I have 110 PC and 112 florescent on a 55 g if I set the clam on the top of the tank and brain coral at bottom of tank will it work out ;some say yes but I want more opinions :?:

It should work just fine. Brain corals really don't need much light (none of the many species I know demand it). The clam should do just fine too.

I had almost the same setup on my 55 and my maxima is doing good close to the top. had him for about a year now.

Thanks for the info here is the brain coral and clam I want, do you still think it will work Thanks alot

Brain Coral, Wellsophyllia - Metallic
(Trachyphyllia radiata)
Indo-Pacific



Crocea Clam, Second Grade
(Tridacna crocea)
South-Pacific

Start the crocea up top. It's arguably the most light-demanding of the Tridacnas.

I would give the clam to your friend who has all the light your clam needs besides, you killed his other clam.

It should do just fine at the top. I think I saw you purchase the clam @ Roozen nursery.
