If you notice him taking an attraction to it, cover the clam with something (like a strawberry basket thingy, or something along those lines) and find another home for it. This way, you can see whether or not it will nip. It might not nip right away, it may in time.. just be prepared to cover it up and make alternative arrangements for it.

Of course, all of this is my opinion!

Just as Scott mentioned, angels can definetly vary. My coral beauty angel never expressed any interest in even tasting any corals or clams. Its typically a matter of luck.

hey rich, thanks for the kind words.

i'm just around the corner from my folks place, so hit me up if youre in the neighborhood.

thats good to hear about the maximas possibly becoming more available... they can have some amazing color/patterns.

and regarding angels, yeah they are hit or miss comcerning clam compatibility. i've kept [rip] a multibar angel for a few years with no problems to any of my tank inhabitants.

i may attempt keeping another golden dwarf. [first one didnt last a week]

I've had this Crocea (my first!) for a little under a week, originally placed for better viewing, but it moved. Once it attaches, I'll turn it for a better pic.
