Clam in a 25 cube tank

Yep, it can, I wouldn't suggest it though. I find any clam under 6", especially maximas, usually doesn't fair well. I would also be prepared to dose if you do. Just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

Check out the clam forum over on Nano-Reef.com. There's currently an active thread that mirrors your question. 

 

Anectodally, I just got a 1.5" maxima from Pacific East and it didn't even last a week in my 5 gallon. Older tanks I feel are important, and in addition to the other variables in my little tank, I think that it was under 1 year old didn't help matters.

I have lost 3 Maximas all about 5" for reasons explained as "sometimes it happens." My params have been controlled and reasonable. I still have 2 left, both are 6"+ and doing great. I wish my experience was different, I love clams, particularly Maximas, but I won't be adding any if these two don't make it.
