The Clam will probably appreciate the new light a lot so it only has to go if you want it to.

As for whether you can keep more...that is dependant on your tank dimensions. I would say there are quite a few people keeping LPS and some SPS with a 4 bulb T5HO. The SPS woul have to be right near the top though.
