Are Brittlestars compatable with tridacnid clams?

Thanks,

Randy

I have both in my tank and have not seen any bad interaction, in fact I have seen no interaction at all.

Thanks for the replies,

It would be a Green Brittlestar, They're not in the same tank yet, but wanted to find out more before I put the clam at risk.

Thanks again

i have heard bad thing about the green ones ( please correct me if i'm wrong ) , i think they are referred to as green death or some other nasty name. they will also grow to a size where they can eat fish, crabs etc........ i believe they are not reef safe.

green brittlestars are called green death.........get rid of it and get a different type of brittle. They don't get their name because they are good community animals...........
