after my recent lighting upgrade i have been looking forward to adding a clam to my system. while recearching i found that people havehad problems mixing hermits(and crabs of all sorts) with clams. what are ya'lls opinions of this? what kind of clean up crew do you use with clams? i even read that i may have to remove my cleaner shrimp. i was just hoping you guys could share your experiences.

I have had 2 clams for over a year, and many blueleg hermits with no problems whatsoever. I also have had 2 cleaner shrimp! Still no problems.

what about my fromia star, i have also run across posts where people had trouble with stars and clams, but have not found any mention of fromia stars.
