i would place it on a rock and once he attaches start moving him up closer to the light. do it slowly so he can acclimate to the light and not get shocked.

the clam should slowly recover from bleaching if you acclimate it to your lights as twenty said. Your param's look good, keep up the good work.

the incurrent siphon and mantle extension look better in the new pic and with some luck he should slowly start to recover his color. let us know how he does :)
