Clam Preditors

Most all angels dwarf or large will nip at or eat clams, ive seemed to have noticed people commenting on lawn mower Blennys chopin on matles. Triggers will to. Others should chime in.
 
I just looked in my tank and saw my two peppermin shrimps eating my clam. Not sure if they started it but it looked fine yesterday. Weird
 
Shrimps and are known go quickly to dead things and i have heard people claim shrimps will start on clams very stressed and die(ing).
 
What about Tonga Nasarius snails? or Mantis Shrimp? I may still have one in here and I have a couple big Nassarius snails? My 1.5" clam looked fine yesterday and today I came home and it was half buried in the sand and all but eaten.
 
Shoot, could it have been my LM Blenny? Oh man, I had no clue they may do this, I've had the clam for a few days and nothing bothered it...
