Clam safe?

[Lariat]

Are copper band butterflies clam safe? And what fish are? I recently got a blue squamosa and I'm not interested in having it become a snack

Copperbands are risky with clams.

Planktivores, such as anthias, basslets, and fairy and flasher wrasses are completely safe with clams.

My CBB has had a clam with it for over 4 years. If fed enough of a well balanced natural diet, they will leave clams alone.

It varies specimen to specimen. Feeding heavily may help, but may not completely eliminate picking behavior if the individual is prone to picking.

Thanks I really want one but not at the expense of my clam. Unfortunately I can only feed once or twice a day due to work

And thanks for a list of clam safe fish. I'm trying to stock my tank with more fish but I'm nervous about the clam getting eaten

So far I have a purple tang, maroon clown and a banner fish

Bannerfish can be risky too....

Are red spot cardinals clam safe? I'd like a school of them

Completely clam safe, though they aren't the easiest fish. They need frequent feedings.

Thank you so much for your help

Many types of gobies are also clam and reef safe.

I had Copper Band. Only ate aptasia. Once they were gone I could not get him to feed on anything else.
