can clams and mantis shrimps co-exist?

[kari]

Personally I had a mantis with clams for quite some time and no problems. I figure there shouldn't be any problem except you can kiss the clowns goodbye if it gets hungry.

I messed around for a long time trying to catch the shrimp with traps and such until one fine day I decided to pull out the rock that it took cover in. Simple and painless. The shrimp lived to move on to another tank.
