Clams are generally very easy keepers. With your lighting, somewhere on the sandbed would be ideal. They like lower flow but will handle medium flow no problem.

One thing I strongly suggest is to put a flat rock, half clam shell or piece of travertine tile under the clam when you place it in your tank. Just bury it under your sand so it is out of sight. This way, if you ever decide to move your clam, you can just move it with the tile or rock, etc. without damaging the clams foot.

I use travertine tile I buy from Home Depot. Comes in 3" x 6" small tiles and are easy to hide in the sandbed.
