So did you get rid of the clams or the fish?

Had CBB in QT, put a clam in to see what would happen, within 4 secs he was trying to eat it, not just nip!

Took clam out and put under halide in my sump, then took rest of clams out of display and put in sump.

Then put CBB in display.

Mine CCB is fine with clams, all of the giant types so far. It is also good with sps and lps. Mine eats frozin, flake, pellet, even nips at the nori. Sadly it can't be bothered to try the aptasia so he seems to be a dud in that department. Overally really beautiful fish!

My CBB wiped out all my Aiptasia in short order. He then proceeded to eradicate all the pods in my tank. I feel this had a bad effect on the overall health of the tank. If I were doing it again I would't get a CBB.

He has not bothered any of my hard or soft corals or my anemones.

What happened? Did you see a visual difference? Can you describe the bad effects you saw?
