yes. there is a pic on RC. some guy has a huge gigas clam with 2 clowns hosting it.

 

[dan10342]

or at least i think it was on Rc...

 

[oceanparadise1]

ha man i hope he doesnt hurt it

 

[dan10342]

he might. a gigas clam is like 15 inches. that clam will get shredded by that clown.

 

[oceanparadise1]

looks like i have a clam for trade then!

My african pair have hosted my Gigas for the last 2 yrs-they sleep in there every night-Gigas is 15in.

 

[oceanparadise1]

ha yea my clam is only like 3-4 inchs if that! do u think he will kill it

 

[dan10342]

he might. might being the key word phil. really depends. IMO a clam that small, and a clown as big as yours... i wouldnt doubt the clam would get ultra mad.

The clown will most likely not hurt the clam, clowns have hosted in many corals, I would see how it goes and if the clams shows signs of irritation I would remove it.

 

[oceanparadise1]

okay cool ill just live with it for now and see what happens

 

[maroonytunes]

Cool, please be sure to post updates on what happens, never seen a clown hosting a clam, heard of it, but would love pics :)

[maroonytunes]

My allardi hosts my squami and the clam doesn't mind at all. Course when they get beyond the 12" size there is little that bothers them. ;p

my new oscillaris clown hosts an empty clam shell in my tank. The clam shell originally came with a toadstool leather inside, but its empty now. The clown loves to sleep in it.

My percula has made my clam his home for several years. Lies on his side in the mantle every night and defends the clam during the day. If my hand gets near the clam I get nipped and tail slapped. Took him about a year to train the clam to not completely close up when he is nearby.
