Of Clams and Dragon Wrasses

Treefer32 · Apr 16, 2020

Probably a dumb question, but will a Rock moving wrasse (otherwise known as Dragon Wrasse) attempt to move a clam? I'd love to have at least one or two clams in my 350 some day. But, the fish likes to attack rocks and lift them up and move them around surching for things to eat underneath. I don't know if he'd actually eat a clam (different issue) but, would his moving a clam shell around kill the clam?

I'm assuming the answer is yes. . . Just checking? Can clams be epoxied down?

He'd probably eat it and THEN move the shell

That sounds right.

I wouldn't do it.

He'd probably bury the shell (or try) and live inside the shell after eating the clam. Heh. dang. O.k. Just confirms at some point I'll need to setup a second tank after I get my main display in Tip top shape.
