can clams and mantis shrimps co-exist?

[fresh]

Hi all,

I found out that I have a mantis residing in my new 72gal reef. I decided that I will not be adding any more fish (other than my 2 clowns) until I catch the monster.

However since this might be a lengthy process (months if not years), I have decided to make my tank a strictly reef with the 2 clowns. I have been buying corals and have noticed that the mantis didn't destroy them or attack them at all.

The question is: Will the clams be ok in the tank? If I put a clam or two, will the mantis think of it as a very expensie $50+ dinner? I will be royally ****ed if he kills the clam(s).

I just want to know before I go ahead and buy clams.

thanks in advance.
