Are they known to nip at clams?

Dear all , anyone had experience with Midas Benny ? Mine seem to have an appetite for clams .

Although Ecsenius genus is considered reef-safe, Midas blenny (Ecsenius Midas) is considered one of the most aggressive and problematic of the genus. Midas have been reported, on very rare occasions though, to nip or soft corals and LPS and even the fins of some bigger fishes. So if you are telling us your midas is disturbing your clams, i wouldnt be surprised. However just kept it well-fed and hopefully the disturbing will stop after awhile. Our aquarium food tastes much better than the clam, so usually they will stop harassing the clam after some time unless the clam is dying and secreting slime which will attract fishes to feast on them.
