adding a clam! Help!!!

[Gools]

When adding a clam to the tank, do I need to turn off all my lights?

[Aquattro]

No, the clam can open and close as required for any adjustment in lighting...

this is just a quote from a website, never done it myself though.

"Always turn off your aquarium lighting and dim lights in the room before, during and after acclimation."

here's the website if ya wanna read more

I would say no need. If there is to much light it will close a little.

He's in. Turned off the 400's but left the 175w on. He's opened up fully.
