Copper Banded Butterfly and clams

[mfinn]

I am going to add a small to medium sized CBB to my mixed softy reef at the end of the week.
Having been in QT for 2 weeks so far.
When I first got it, I noticed on the second day it had what looked like lymphocystis on 2 of his fins.
After about a week in qt with chloroquine phosphate the ( what I thought ) lymphocystis disappeared and hasn't returned.
I'm going to do a week of prazipro and then add him in the main tank.
It is really a aggressive eater.
Eats frozen brine, frozen Mysis, frozen blood worms, and roe.
It even got tricked in to a few spectrum thera pellets once.

My question is, I'm going to tank sit a friends clam in a few weeks.
I can't find any info on CBB's and clams.
Will the clam be safe?

It will be a risk because CBBs like clam. In fact, that is all mine is eating right now.

I have a copperband and I have a clam. I also feed my copperband clams every day but he never touches the live clam. I have been keeping clams and copperbands together since Jimmy Carter was President and so far no problems.

LOL you had to go there and make it political out of a Copperband Butterfly and a Clam :blown:

Beautiful tank btw :thumbsup:

Copperbands do not bother Tirdacnid clams. At least the 4 that I have over ther years do not bother other tank mates other than destroyed Aptasia

I have a clam and copperband also with no problems, but the clam was there first.
