Crocea & Copperband?

[Mike Murphy]

Something tells me that this is not a good combination in a reef tank. Am I right in my thinking?

I used to have a copperband in the same tank with my croceas. The copperband never bothered my croceas once.

Yes, I have pondered it myself many times. I don't think it would be a good combo. Just my .02

I have a copperband in my reef with 2 croceas and 1 gigas....not a single problem with him. He is a model citizen....

Well that is good to hear. I hope mine is as well behaved.

Thanks

Keep us posted on if he goes crazy on the clams, I wanted a copperband but was going to pass because i also want clams.

Mine was attacking my new clam 1 hour after the lights came on

as soon as I put in my new clam in mine pecked at his excurrent siphon then I made a little contraption out of the bottom end of a water bottle to shield the clam from the copperband. I heard that they usually don't pick on the clams that were there before the copperband enters but any introductions afterward usually get pecked. My clam doesn't appear to be too injured but I hope the copperband will stop associating it as food.
