No the Angel do not seem to bother the clams. I put the clams out of the main swimming lanes of the tank as the clams close every time a fish swims by and if they are in the main swimming lanes they are closing all the time. After a while the clams do not open all the ways and are just not happy.

I just added 5 angels to my acro sps tank.
6.5" Majestic
5" Emperor
4" Regal
3" Goldflake
2.5" Flame

So far so good with the acros. I don't have lps or softies or clams in there.

Default Large Angels
I have a large queen angel in a reef tank and it eats green star and yellow polyps. I recently moved a Large Koran angel into the tank and it ate two of three green bubble corals and some Red mushrooms although the tank I moved it from had geen star polyps and yellow parazoanthus which it did not touch. It did like to pick at brain corals and palythos and zoanthids. I think the angels are individuals and each is not to be trusted in a reef.

A great lesson in aquarium logistics.

all fish can be coral eaters it depends on the fish. i have a 2 angels and neither of them pick at coral ... but my yellow tang killed 2 clams on me ... my advice is watch your fish and if it is just grazing on coral not killing it then the coral will probobly do better... remember in the wild the fish that graze on coral keep the coral healthy...
