Fish you've had that eat clams?

That would be our Regal, LOL. We watched in HORROR as she darted over and made a FEAST out of a very expensive Elegance coral. We pulled the coral out, but the damage was already done. Anyone that has ever been to our house knows our fish are all very well fed, LOL.

If your Regal was like the wrasse and idol he was a model citizen then one day he got a taste for things other than prepared foods. He was in the tank for months, the wrasses even longer. Regals are nice and very expensive, congratulations for having one.

Yes, that's true. I also should mention that our Desjardini tang ripped a chunk of food out of the elegance coral causing damage and it was just too much for the Regal to resist. Anyway, after that episode, we decided we would not push our luck by tempting her with a clam. We'll probably add a small clam to our 30g nano though...

I watched a Snowflake Eel swim right out in front of me and rip the gills out of this one...

All fish can learn to eat clams. They love them after they learn the trick. Even my cleaner wrass has learned to eat them. I feed clams in my tank and even my tangs would shred any clam that hit my water. If your fish dont eat clams it's only because they have never learned to do so. If you placed your non clam eating fish into a tank where the fish have learned to graze they would pick up on it right away.

I added a blue face, asfur, and regal angel. For the first two months everything was fine, and all of sudden they begin nipping at my clams, acans, brain coral, and lobo, so I had to move all my clams, and lps coral into a 90 gallons tank. They did not mess with my hammer, frogspawn, torch, or any of the Ricordia Yuma.

My cleaner Wrasse picked at clams from the get go. I ended up selling the clam, because I could get more than what I paid for it, and my cleaner wrasse eats like a champ.

I tried a few times to keep dwarf angels in my reef and they always picked at corals but only one flame angel picked at my clams. It didn't look like the clams were bothered by it though. They didn't even close up or flinch much. A local reefer had a yellow tang that picked at a huge squamosa all the time. Even after removing the fish it never opened back up and eventually died. I'm not sure if the tang was picking because the clam was unhealthy or the constant picking irritated the clam and made it unhealthy.

I am convinced that my lemon peel dwarf angel killed my derasa.

 

[Platehead]

My flame killed my dereasa clam, The clam died in the end and kept the angel.
