Need opinion: Clam OK with Coral Beauty?

[IluvGod'sreefs]

I have a 55 gallon reef that has a Coral Beauty, among other fish in it. I have an LED fixture coming this week, and I have been dying to get a Derasa clam. Is this a bad idea? I've heard that CB's are clam mantle nippers.

I have a CB with my clam in a 110 and the CB doesn't pay any attention to the the clam.

I have personally never had an issue with CB's and clams, as long as the clam is healthy. I have seen CB's pounce on clams that are stressed out and already on their way out though.

OK, thanks guys. I guess my real concern on this is in regard to the size of my tank. I've heard that the bigger the tank, the less problems. My 55 would seem pretty small compared to a 110.

Be sure to keep CB well fed to lower the chances.
