will a sebae's tentacles damage a large T. clam?

[marc price]

the inevitable contact has begun and i'll need to move things again but wondering if any of you have first hand exp. with sebae anemones coming into contact with your large T. clams?

i've had S. haddoni carpets right against porites and wellsophyllia corals for up to a month with no damage. unlike the rbta which in no time would leave bleached burn marks on the fleshy lobes of the wellsophyllia coral and kill what ever part of a sps it came in contact with.

so far neither the sebae anemone or Tridacna squamosa clam seem to be bothered by one another just don't know if it's a matter of time (and how long), before trouble?

I would separate them. I don't know for sure, but as sensitive as Tridacna clams can be, it's better safe than sorry.
