I agree.

Actually, I kept a crocea once under PC for about four months. I thought it was doing splendidly, it had attached to the rock and never gaped. It wasn't until I took a picture and compared it to the picture I had taken when I bought it that I realized the clam's colors were definitely "browning".

Then I moved the clam and probably foolishly gave it too much light too fast, because it kept jumping and falling, and eventually perished.

I really think all clams look best under MH tho.
