Sorry I can't tell much from that.
The top looks like it's a 14 hr peak at 60. So I'd say light shock maybe.
The bottom I don't understand

I dont entirely understand why theres 2 of em... the first seems to peak at 60 on blues... mine i have set to peak at 140... and my whites never go above 40...

And its like a bluey spectrum... so could probly add more whites. But currently waiting for tank to adjust to a 5% increase is red and green last week.

Thanks, So am I. I never had this happen before. This is my first time keeping a clam under LEDs

Sorry guys I posted the wrong light schedule. Here is the corrected one. They ramp up for 4 hour then go down from there.

Yea , I think you need more light for a clam.

Slowly increasing your intensity.

We're talking about how to do that slowly and safely over here.

Different light , but it's pretty much the same.

If the clam hasn't attached you could also try to move it up if your rocks will allow it. And yes. It may attach if it likes the spot.
