Taking the "angel" risk - Need advice and opinions

So I am planning to take the risk and add a gold flake and a regal to my 350G SPS dominated reef.


I know that they like zoas and clams. I do not have many zoas and what I have plan to take out. The issue is I have two clams and I absolutely love them. One is a blue maxima and other is a Derasa.


My question is, how would a deresa (8 - 9 inches) do in 40G breeder fuge? I like the benefits of filter feeding the clam adds to the tank. However my light is only a CFL on the fuge.


What do you people think? Will it do well under CFL? Do I need to upgrade to T5 or LED in my fuge?

Both the angels I have are awesome specimen. They eat everything I give them and have been in QT for 7 weeks now. I really want to add them to the tank. The goldflake is in my frag tank for 4 days and has not touched anything....


Please share your experiences...

:uncomfortableness:I've had a clam under (4) 54 watt CFL... it didn't survive; however, I had it in my display tank which is 75 gal.. so the ratio of light to depth to the bottom of the tank, didn't add to the clams sustainability.
 
Good luck with those angels I have a friend that recently added a gold flake angel and within a week she whipped out his red hornets I believe I don't know if she went after his sps but like anything in life it's a hit or miss GL
