Talking New Crocea Clam!

Well I just got this guy tonight. Couldn't wait till morning so here is a pic of it lights off with the flash. Before everyone wants to kill me because he is under PCs, I am going to order this MH fixture in about 3 weeks (June 29th)...

That is because I have ALWAYS wanted a clam, and am suddenly very interested in SPS corals. Can't wait! But today is my birthday so I got this guy as a gift!! He is SUPER reactive to light/shadows. I just bend down to look at him in the tank, and he SNAPS back into his shell, and then comes back out really fast! Which I have read is a good sign. I've never seen anything other than fish move that fast! He is about 2 1/2 to 3in, so I will buy some live phyto next week when I get paid. Meanwhile I have Kent Marine Micro-vert which is filter feeder food, so that I think will suffice for a week...right? The guy at the LFS was very informative, on top of everything I have already researched. I really trust this LFS, and have bought 4 of my corals, and now this clam, from them. So wahoo!! I will post some more pics tomorrow when he is out! The striking blue is going to add such a vibrance to the tank, I can't wait till I start getting those purple and blue and red SPSs like Acropora!
