I guess that is good, as long at the powerhead is not hitting it directly.i have an mp10 in my 37g turnned up to about 80 percent and the clam is on the same side as the powerhead so where it is would be i'm guessing medium flow
Spot feed it phytoplankton every other day
I would straighten it ASAP. I just lost a baby maxima. I had it for about 5 months and it was doing great but also never attached to anything no matter where I put it. I found it sideways in the sand after being away for a few days and it didn't look good and died the next day. Not sure if being sideways was the cause but that was what I was thinking. Good luck with it
I dont target feed either. Once a week I pour a little phyto and fuel in the water
if a clam is under 2" hinge to hinge it is recomended
By who? All the recent data I have seen on the subject has shown that small clams in the tridacnid family which would include maximas has shown even when tiny can produce enough energy to sustain metabolism through photosynthesis.

"Tridacna clams are also filter feeders and constantly filter the water for small particulates. Maxima Clams larger than 2” do not require supplemental feedings, but smaller T. maxima that are less than 2” should be fed a phytoplankton or greenwater supplement several times per week if maintained in a nutrient poor reef aquarium." got this from live aquaria
