Question about clams

You know those brightly colored clams? Do they require the same lighting, salinity, etc. as corals or can they be added to a FOWLR tank?

Clams usually require very good lighting and a stabile tank. As for salinity I would think its the same. I keep my salinity at 1.025 and I have (3) happy clams and several other corals. If you are interested in keeping clams your should go through the clam forum, lots of good info there.
