Experience with Copperband Butterfly with Fan Worms or Clams?

[Tft12]

Does anyone have experience housing a Copperband Butterfly with fan worms/feather duster worms or clams?

I know all fish are individuals with their own behaviors but I would like to know if anyone has direct experience mixing these. Thanks.

I have not kept a CB in many years; but when I did it ate all the fanworms in my tank. Left clams alone though.

Nope, they will eat up all your fan worms in a day or two.

I have one with a Maxima clam. No problems ever.

Mine has not touched my Maxima, all my feather dusters are gone however

I've had about 7 CBB's long term over the years, and I think every single one had diet variations, but w/ every one of them there was no way of keeping any type of feather duster or gorgonians or anything like that, and clams may be on their menu

My CBB prevents me from buying feather dusters and Coco worms. It's saving me tons of money.

Thanks a lot everyone. Not compatible with feather dusters. Worth a shot with clams. Got it.

So even though mine tears apart a clam on the halfshell, it might still be safe with a maxima?

Oh I think very much so they may go after clams, maybe after all types of feathers are gone, possibly sooner, I just did not add that to my first comment as I never had the two together

I never fed mine clams to try to avoid it viewing my tridacna as food.
