You have enough light for any clam you prefer and you are fine to add a clam at this point. People put too much worry in owning clams they are alot more tuff than they are given credit for. I have a 34 cube 165watt Reef Radiance fixture and 7 clams 2 Squamosa, 1 Derasa, and 4 Crocea. My biggest clam is bigger than a 20oz drink bottle. I've set clams in newly setup aquariums and they do fine they absorb ammonia and use it for food.
Clam question
My tank is just over five months old. Fish, coral and inverts are doing well. Parameters are pretty good, though PH is just a bit low. So, is it okay to put a clam in now, or should I wait until the tank is more established, around one year? I have the Maxspect 160 watt/1600K LED fixture over a 57 gallon, which is 20" deep.
I'm thinking a Derasa would be the best with this lighting, though I'd prefer a Crocea.

Shadrach,
Thanks for the input. Are you by chance selling any of your clams? If not, where do you get yours? I would like to get one at least four inches.
