Everything I've read said that these need MH. You might try a less-demanding species light-wise (Derasa, Squamosa).

Hi Ray,

Check out www.clamsdirect.com. In their forum, the consensus is that crocea are very high light demanding sp. that require MH to do well. You could probably keep it alive, but if you want one to thrive & grow, I have to agree with AJ & say pick up a nice Derasa. I've got a 6" Derasa right under PC & T5s & it's already growing.
