Not a clam your gonna really want to get halides to keep a clam. they really dont have a good chance under PCs, people have done it but only a few have sucess.

Corals i would reccomend would be softies zoas mushrooms leathers those are good beginner corals and they will do well under a halide

some nice corals you could get based on how long your tank has been would be shrooms, Toadstool Leather Coral, Thin Finger Leather Coral, Cauliflower Colt Coral(just be sure to place with a pretty good curent because some can melt and there goes that look.Open Brain Coral, Candy Cane Coral, Short Tentacle Plate Coral, and Brain Coral, Favites(with these i'm not to sure but some require low light others like bright and some like a low to moderate flow. since you do have net i wolud research a bit and this is a real good site i found a while back http://www.reefcorner.com/reef%20keeping_101.htm
