Starfish/Flame Angels ok w/ Clams?

[juststartingout]

We have 2 clams (crocea/squamosa) I have an interest in a blue linkia starfish and a flame angel, but hear they are not usually compatible with clams. What are opinions from you clam folks?

Thanks

My flame does not bother either of my clams.

Dwarf angels is a 50/50 shot...basicly a role of the dice...Im not up on starfish so cant help you there....

I had a blue linkia star (see my tank picture, at the bottom, died due to starvation) and it never bothered it.

Linkia stars are reef safe and cant eat a clam. However they are hard to keep in long term and they usually starve. You need a big tank full of LR to keep one healthy.
Dwarf angels are a hit or miss. Some of them nip clams' mantles while others dont. Mine did and I had to take him to lfs. Mine was a flavicauda angel though.
