I hope my worms are nice to mine! Do timors typically go for clams or pick on corals?
Timors are in the same family as Melanus wrasses but less aggressive. So they tend to eat smaller inverts for breakfast lunch and dinner if not already established. So hopefully the clam is big enough to not be a $60 meal. Every fish has their own personality tho

I'm hoping my timor and radiant are fine with the 3 I have coming, after all smaller Halichoeres are used to control pyramid snails on clams. Worst case scenario, I remove the clams and place them in a different system. Our plan is to feed the fish very well before adding the clams, and keep an eye on them throughout the day.

I can't keep anything on my sand bed in one of my tanks because of my melanaurus. He flings sand onto everything irritated my corals and Maxima's. Mine may just be a jerk though. Just find a quiet place if you can. Anything that swims around them or over them constantly will make them retract. Get some phyto to supplement him as well.
I just purchased a clam jammer from BRS to hold it up on my rock work so hopefully it all works out!

Great price on a clam, though! Which one did you get?

Pssst what if someone impatient placed an addition to their weekend orders this morning before you posted this??
Don’t feel bad…I place a smallish order right when the discount started and rushed through the checkout and forgot to put in discount code

For what it’s worth, I’ve never had a clam before but I bought a Crocea clam during this sale and everything I’ve seen says they like sps type lights and parameters. So personally I bought a clam jammer from BRS since they bore into the rock. This way I can move it if needed. I plan to place mine on my rock work at about 250-300 par.

Yeah I got a couple places in my medium tank that would work. But one has 250-290 ish midway and other gets 400. Just want to acclimate and recreate appropriately lol
