Long Nose Butterfly

So.... people who have or have had Long Nose Butterflies, do they attack corals and clams? It's a fish I'd love to have, but I do have LPS and Clams in my tank. I know the official position is "with caution" but that can sometimes be like a legal disclosure: must be included. What are the chances of one actually attacking LPS and Clams? (I like my Clams and want more!)

Mine really liked acans and sun coral during the first week after I added him, but for some reason he stopped going after them and I haven't really seen him nip at anything else since then. I feed heavily 4 times a day, so that might be the reason too. I've had him for about 4 months now.

That's beautiful! I'm glad he's given up his criminal ways!
