anybody have a success keeping this two together. i read somewhere that u cant have wrasse with clam. i have a sixline wrasse and yellow coris wrasse. and would really love to get some clams.

idk about that.. a lot of people have clams with wrasses.. i have 3 clams and a six line... no problems

If anything, a both of the species of wrasse you listed are beneficial to the clam. They control pyramelllid snails, which can kill a clam quite quickly. These wrasses also control commensal flatworm populations and the yellow coris will eat montipora-eating nudibranchs when it is small. BTW the yellow coris is actullay not a "true" coris wrasse as it is from the Halichoeres genus. I had an aggressive sixline that mysteriously disappeared so I bought a H. melanurus strictly for the fact that I have 6 clams. Hope that helps

ya so wrasses= goods

thanks guys. woot woot oh also. i have 150w metal halide sunpod on a 17" hightank. would they be ok under those lighting?

ya they should be great under those lights.. what type of tank?

its a 20 g AGA. im looking at a maxima clam. and thinking puting in on the sand right in the middle of the tank(would be a good place for it? u can see it on my tank tread. or wats a good place to put it? thanks). but im gonna be putting a flat rock on top of the sand so it can attach it self

I have a six line and a squamosa clam together with no problems. In fact, it ignores the clam. My bristletooth tang (Tang Police: it is a 75g ) likes to clean algae off the clam's shell.

I have heard some wrasses are not good with clams but the two you listed are fine. I think the most problematic fish for clams are angels both regular and dwarf.

High-Jack:
How are clams under 4x24w t5's?

They should be fine as long as the tank isn't too deep. So, what's the tank size?

i have 2 wrasses and 3 clams in my 125.. everyones happy as a clam!!

get it??

no but seriously i have never herd anything negative about the pair

I've similarly only heard bad things about mixing blennies and clams or certain types of gobies and clams. But not wrasses.
