I wonder if it would pick in my tank.. My sailfin picked clams when they're out in the open, however once I placed my clam up in a crevice in the rocks, it hasn't been bothered again. hmmmm. So now 2 people in the club with magnificent foxfaces have had foxface and clam issues

maybe you should try a different approach, perhaps, feeding the poor fish

I think you are pulling the rope too fast, I have seen my purple, yellow tangs & foxface picking at some acros & my clams every once in a while, so far none have kill anything and my corals appear to be very healthy and growing.
For all I know this small nipping may very well be a natural behavior and possibly even beneficial to the coral, I mean lets face it, I have seen my tangs eating my mix food and they are well capable of tearing some flesh out when they find bigger morsels they can't swallow, IMO if they were trying to eat your clam they would have eat it already.

Do they eat Xenia? 
If so, I'll take him.

I was not waiting around for him to destroy my tank-the bait believe it or not was a gold maxima inside of the trap. As soon as the mantle was fully extended he went right in and viola. He now lives in my sump, once he cleans all the algae there he's up for grabs.
Here's a pic of his doings.

I might be interested in him? right now I've got 3 wrasse's(filament, 6-line, and radiant) 2 clowns(percs) an engineer goby, and a pink spotted goby. It's a 75 gallon tank. Don't really have any algae. But I'm looking into getting some sps. Does he nibble on sps? or just clams? And if he isn't good for my tank, my neighbor (who i'm trying to get into fmas) has a 5 covered in algae. I gotts ask him if he may be interested.
What would you want for him?
