Issues keeping clams next to these corals?

[jeff127]

Hi guys, my tank is starting to get very full and need to move some pieces round and wondered if anyone had experiance keeping clams next to the following corals without problems?

Hammer coral
Acan lord (no go-er Im guessing?!)
And Seriatopora caliendrum.

The clams are a maxima and squamosa, and I've already had the maxima next to the hammer for a short time with no apparent issues, worth checking though.


Many thanks

Jeff.

I have heard that corals like hammer and acan lord can and will sting clams to the point where the clams will not open. Or the clams will move away from them. But, clams usually do fine with sps corals as long as they don't get over shaded by them. Robertus's tank is a good example of clams living with sps coral just fine. Here a link to his thread http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1475388&perpage=25&pagenumber=1

I have acans all around my corera with no issues. The hammer would concern me a bit, but lords have such short tenticles I don't see how they could reach the clams mantle

Okay thanks for the help guys.

Luckily I've managed to find room to keep the clams relatively far away from all the corals- for now, haha!


Thanks,

Jeff.

tentacles are bad. keep it away from anything with expandable tentacles.
