Keeping it Simple
Hey guys! Here are some shots of my girlfriend and I's clams. :)

The 2 croceas we bought this week at clams direct!

Thanks for everyone's help and hope you all enjoy the pics. Let me know what you think. :)
 
Yes, I'm definitely feeding the tank DT's phyto, especially since I've got three feather duster/coco-worms...soon to be five. :) Thanks for the compliments everyone and the help!
 
Great pics....
Do your clams get "stung" or are they bothered by any of the corals/inverts. It looks like the mushrooms are touching them.
 
Green_frogspawn: I'll get you a front tank shot today! Thanks for the compliment! :)

Scuba Josh: I worried about the shrooms stinging them as well. The squamosa was bigger than I thought when I brought it back home so I kind of had to take the chance if I wan't to look at him from the front of the tank. The 2 new croceas don't have room up front. :( I figured that the clams would move or show signs of stress if they were getting stung. Neither has happened. Although, I will never put them close to my frogspawn or hammers.
 
I also just added two feather dusters that have lots of purple and yellow in them!! I love feather dusters as well if you can't tell. :)
 
Just be sure those clams get enough light. You appear to have only one fixture, with the clams on the outskirts. The clams will likely need much more light ultimately than the Softies and LPS you have in the focal spot. Personally, if it were my tank, I would be worried that all the other corals (some quite quick growing), would shade out the clams. Good luck.
 
Jmaneyapanda: I most definitely agree. The more I look at the tank, the more I don't like the pile of rock in the middle. I was thinking about changing the rocks into two smaller mounds of rock on both left and right sides. It would give me the valley look I've always liked and provide a center spot for all of the clams! :) Thanks for your concern. (yes, they are quick growers!)

Green_frogspawn: Thanks! That frogspawn started as 1 polyp a year ago; now it's got over 8!

Davidbryden: I most definitely agree; very very shortly I will upgrade to a 40 breeder and use this moded 30 breeder as a refugium and sump. I think this is the time I'll change my aquascaping like Jmaneyapanda is suggesting.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! :)
