    The coral looks to be a branching frogspawn to be exact. Looks very dense and healthy!

    Quite possibly, but it also could easily be a torch or hammer, it's hard to tell from the picture.

    What size tank do you have? Lighting? What other equipment do you have? It would be nice to learn more about the tank.

    BTW, I really like the simplicity of your tank.

    Are you using a flash?

    What kind of light fixture do you have? I want to get a clam but am unsure if my T5 will put enough power out to keep one alive.

    The tank is 120 gallons and I have 6 54 watt t5 fixture. The tank has a 30 gallon sump and a hydor koralia 4, I also have a berlin protein skimmer that is a piece of crap so I am looking into getting something else soon. I tried putting the clam up on the rocks to get it closer to the light but it kept going to the sand, and it seems happy so I am letting him be. I have not used flash with my pictures b/c of the glare.

    Try turning your ISO down, should help to allow more light into the aperture without having to use flash.

    Sounds exactly like my setup...120 G tank, 48 inch T5 fixture. Let me know how the clam does, maybe I can get one soon. How old is your tank?

    Well it started off as a 55 gallon 3 years ago and then was transferred into the 120 a year and a half ago.
