Looks like a crocea clam. Looks good but your rock work looks like it could fall any minute! Not saying it is, just looks wider at top than it does at the bottom. Anyway, looks like you are doing a good job.

Yeah i figured out it wasa Crocea Clam by comparing mine to pic on the internet. lol i didnt notice but it does look like the tops wider then the bottom in that pic, im guessing bc of the bow front ? Really its not.
thanks for the response i was worried no one would comment !
hoping to get some SPS frags tomorrow ill take some more pics when i can

Most posts get responses but sometimes it can take some time. I forgot you did day you had a bowfront so that could make your rock work look obscured. Which sps frags are you planning to get?

To tell you the truth im not sure. The manager of the LFS is a great guy and said he can frag me anything from the display tanks. so im going to go there and take a look at what they have.
Do you have any sugestions. i really would like something either Red or Blue.
Id love to try an acropora

Well acros come in about every color imaginable so you should be able to get a red or blue. I like stylophora corals but I don't see them often in my local stores.
