Copatability of Angel with crocea?

[bklynmet]

I'm thinking of adding a new fish to the tank. Of them, I was thinking about 'Coral Beauty' or 'Flame' angels. What has been you experience with these fish in you tank with clams?

I know what the live fish sites say about caution, I want to hear real world experiences - like if you keep them fed, they won't nip. Or that I only feed once a day and haven't seen the coral beauty nip the clam...

any angel cannot be 100% trusted with clams, they may appear to be fine for great lengths of time only to turn overnight.

Bump, Anyone with experience with this situation - positive or negative?

I've got both a Coral Beauty and a Rusty Angel. I also have a Dejardini tang that has been known to pick at crocea clams. The clam wasn't doing well in the sand, so I moved him to the rocks and have him in the rockwork, and he has been fine and extended ever since. I looked tonight though and it looked like there was a tiny bite mark from his mantle, but other than that I have never seen a problem.

here's a thread from yesterday, i believe this is one of the fish you wanted.

i had a Coral Beauty that was ruthless. i had to build a little cage for my clams and it still got in. i wouldn't take the chance, they are just too inquisitive and there natural feeding behavior is to pick at everything and see if it can be eaten.

Thank you.

My coral beauty is 'so far so good' with my crocea. I feed ALOT though.
