Poor thing is starving to death

New Rockwork,  Opinions?  Better before or after?

What is this?

It looks like some kind of clam.  The back side follows the contours of the rock and is attached to the rock.  It does open an close like a clam and is sensitive to light changes.  It will close up if something changes the light.  It doesn't move from where it is but does open and close.  It is actually a very pretty pearly white color with the black spots.   I would guess some kind of clam but I'm not sure what kind or where to look to find out.  It is not in my Calfo "Reef Invertebrates" book that I could find.

The jury is still out on the Bonsai.  I fragged and dipped.  The base is gone.  I have a small part of the tip that hasn't completely rtn yet.  Fingers crossed.  It is by far my favorite acropora.  Like you said, it is a must have.  I would love another frag of "armegeddon" and the "sunset monti" if you have any.  They didn't make it either.  I need to come visit you again to get a few more frags....  Any suggestions?  I am really liking the sps much more now.  I'll keep a few of the really high end zoas and the other special pieces but want to get more of the acros and montis. 

The Tailspot Blenny is one of my favorites! My Percula clowns got territorial in my 34g cube and killed him though. The clowns are now gone so I need to get another one.

My sunset colony went south on me, but I was able to save a nice sized frag of it. It may be a while before it's ready, but I'll put you first on the list.   I do have some rainbow montipora that I think you'd like. The tail spot would be a great addition to your tank. They've got a ton of personality and should get along well with your other tank mates.   I got a piece of what I thought was "Pokerstar" from you.  There is a picture of it here in this thread.  Is this the same coral as the rainbow or do you have both?    What other nice acropora do you have?   I think I will get a Tail Spot.  Where did you get yours?  I asked for one in several of the LFS and just got puzzled looks.  Also, where do they typically "Hang Out" in the tank.  I am trying to plan this out so everyone has their own territory/space.  The Jawfish-bottom right front, Yasha-bottom left front, Mandarin-hovering over/in live rock, Helfrichi upper front, clowns, upper back.  That was the general idea anyway.

Ya, I saw the picture of the pokerstar. Looks like it's doing really well. The pokerstar will develope orange polyps with the new growth. The rainbow is different. It has orange, yellow and green polyps and the body is a deeper blue. I recently took out most of my sps colonies from my tank. I'm getting ready to redo it. I still have a bunch that I kept though. One that comes to mind is the Shawn Bennett yellow tort. I think you'd like that one. You'll have to come visit again sometime soon!
