also, as far as clams go, i have been wanting to add one. my lighting is fine but i have been worried due to one of my fish. Its a flametail blenny. i have heard they might be clam eating blennies and am nervouse about putting a 60-100 $$$ clam in there, and feedback on these??>??

Some Blennies can nip the mantle but as far as the Clam being consumed by them I don't think it's common for that to happen.
