Midas Blenny... Are they Clam safe?

[want2reef]

I seen a nice Midas blenny at the LFS and was wondering what the odds would be, that it would pic at my Crocea.

Thanks

Mine and all the ones at work are fine.

those and a few other blennys can be brutal on clams

I just rescued a crocea from a friend's tank that had a bicolor blenny that was persistantly picking at the mantle... I cant vouch for the midas though.

I hate to here all this bad new on Blenny, but I guess it better than having to get him out of the tank later.

Midas Blennies are completely safe. Perhaps the others aren't but I've never seen an issue ever and I even have one with several clams.

I have a 7" long midas with my 5 clams. And my friend has a 9" long midas with his 6 clams. But i guess we are just lucky. Maybe i should move all the midas blennies that are in the reef tanks at work there are 4 tanks up there with clams and midas blennies in each. Hmmm.

FWIW, I've had a 5" midas for about 4 months now and no problems yet. I have three clams in the tank.
