Looking to buy a clam. Current stock several brittle star fish, sand shifting star fish, one spot fox face 2 clowns, coralbeauty angel fish, pipe fish, Valentino puffer, yellow eye kole tang, 2 damsels ( honey damsel), banded goby, several cleaner shrimps, aptasia eating shrimps, pencil urchin , bubble bee snails, blue crabs, Halloween crabs, several other snails. I think that's all my live stock next to corals and bats. I haven't seen any of my fish attack any thing yet. But which ones should I consider getting tid of or moving to another tank?
 
Coral beauty might be an issue, possibly puffer if it thinks the clam is a big food.
 
The puffer hasn't destroyed my zoas or picked at them ay all. But will watch it. The pencil urging has destroyed a sponge I had in there along with pine apple sponges
 
Shrimp might pick at it and crabs are a crabshoot for anything. You should also be aware of pyramid snails and pinched mantle disease if you're getting into clams.
