How long has the yellow coris been in the tank?I know yellow coris are supposed to be reef safe but I dont trust any with the clams except the fairy wrasse family. One yellow coris can be fine in a tank and another may not. ive learned that fish have different personalities even though they are the exact same species. I know other people who keep blue hippos with their clams just fine but mine takes chunks out of mantles quickly.It took me a while to catch my radiant nipping my clams but once he did they were afraid to expand their mantles fully. Just a thought.
HELP! don't know whats going on!

hmmm. the coris SHOULD be fine with the clams. they are actually favored fish because they are very good at getting rid of pyramid snails, and other sps predators. i have a friend with 10 yellow coris wrasses, and his clams are fine.
tangs however, are unpredictable, especially purple tangs.

about 7 months ago i found the coral beauty nipping at the clam and he got a ride back to the fish store immediately. I've heard of some coral beautys that don't nip at clams and I've heard some that do. I decided to take a chance and try. The coral beauty has long since been gone everything else in there has been a model citizen. It has worsened from last night and I am totally confused as to why this happened... i loved that clam. i don't think he's gonna pull through. i truly don't know what I could have done to keep this from happening and now i'm afraid to buy another one in fear i may kill that one too....
