I just got a new Derasa clam and I am acclimating it to my coral QT as we speak. I cannot put it in my invert QT as I do not have the proper lighting and I just had a couple questions.
1. I was planning on putting it on the sand bed of my QT but the lighting is only about 70 PAR in my QT sandbed. Will that be enough for 76 days in QT or will I need to put it on the rack at 100 + PAR?
2. If I need to put it on the rack, I do not have a lot of room since I have three Torches currently in QT that can reach pretty far. I do have space next to the Torches, but I am not sure if the Torches will sting the Clam or not. So the question is, do Torches sting Clams?
3. And should I put it on the rack near the Torches or try and rearrange some things to get it away from them?
4. I know Clams need food as well as good lighting and flow and I have some Phytoplankton for it, but do I just dose the tank or feed it like I feed my corals, (turkey baster right near the mouth)?
Thanks in advance for all comments! ;Happy
