My experience is that dwarf angels will nip at the mantles. Especially if the clam is not so healthy. Try dropping some opened lala into your tank. your fishes will surely feast on them.

My flame and flameback cleaned out my crocea.

Yea if clam is healthy they won't touch, if it's dying most likely it'll be a feast, same goes for corals. If it ain't healthy angels and butterflies will feast on the dead part

My tank is 3'x2'x2'. Presently I have a few angels (queen, blue face, flame and majestic) which I plan to sell as they may nib at the clam. I hope to get a squamosa as I read somewhere that it requires less light than the other species. I will install new led lights, just that I hope not to spend too much on lighting.

I've 2 crocea (3inch) and a maxima (1.5inch) in my 3'x2'x2. My current lighting is 6 tube T5HO (4 tube blue plus n 2 tube blue special). Hope this helps.

Crocea in my tank feasted by the koran n regal angel.

The clam was Hidden at the highest level on eggcrate but somehow i think both

the angels tackled it down n hurray on it.

Currently just left the shell,.. A new home for my yellowtail damsel.

Coral beauty may nip on the clam so probably not a good choice :) but I heard people who have no problem with coral beauty so it may be a personality thingy.

Same actually. Flame angels may nip on clam mantle so depends on your luck.
