I have a niger for a year and half and it is a model citizen. Does not touch my clams, shrimp etc...but it is always a gamble when you buy one of these.
It is best to buy it small and keep it very well fed. If they are fed like little pig they won't go hunt for food on their own. I suspect that biting fish and eating shrimp or clam is because they are too hungry.
I feed mine morning and evening and each time he eats like a pig. He's now nearly 8" with the tail.

I've got a 4 " niger in my reef as well. Doesn't touch any of my corals, clams or crustaceans. ( the sohal keeps him in check and he doesn't get a long of browsing time. LOL )
