Is this clam getting enough light?


I'm a little worried about whether the smaller clam in this pic is getting enough light. The peach acro has grown and is slightly shading about half of it. Both clams are about 16" almost directly below a 250W MH.
I know most people keep their clams at the bottom of their tanks - so it seems like clams would get even lower light in situations like that.

I hate to frag that acro because it has really nice growth and form. Would rather try to move the clam, if it seems like it needs more light.

Thanks for any advice!

Casey, are you sitting on your orange chair drinking diet coke while admiring your 500 gallon clam farm?
