Clams

[Spyd]

Clams are generally very easy keepers. With your lighting, somewhere on the sandbed would be ideal. They like lower flow but will handle medium flow no problem.

One thing I strongly suggest is to put a flat rock, half clam shell or piece of travertine tile under the clam when you place it in your tank. Just bury it under your sand so it is out of sight. This way, if you ever decide to move your clam, you can just move it with the tile or rock, etc. without damaging the clams foot.

I use travertine tile I buy from Home Depot. Comes in 3" x 6" small tiles and are easy to hide in the sandbed.

I bought a bunch of these clam holders for future clams:

From what I have read, you should be safe with the File Fish and a clam. The File Fish will go after corals more so. Angels and clams do not get a long though... The dwarf angels are generally fine but the larger ones will nip at them.

Except when that isn't true My file fish went after my clam (and got it's face stuck) and my Emperor Angel has never even looked at my clam. Go figure, eh?
