Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
If your anemone moves then I would be careful. I have 2 clams in with my RBTA but he stays put so I consider it safe. I've seen the RBTA touch the clam and the clam flexed but that's it. He didn't melt, recede, or die.
Good luck, I hope it works out.

my sebae anenome hits my clam all the time. He will retract from the shadows, but other then that, he is "happy as a clam."

I'd imagine if the clams were of sand-dwelling species, and the anemone were of the LR dwelling -(or vice versa) the chances of accidental stinging would be reduced.
personally i wouldn't keep the two together-but that's just my preference...like some ppl prefer bare bottom vs. sand kinda thing.

ok thanks guys. right now from last nite both ok.
Would'nt the clams just close up?
In my opinion, if an anemone were to park itself next to a clam, then the clam could never extend it's mantel fully and thereby possibly die from lack of nutrition...plus the fact that the whole idea behind a clam is to look at the beautiful patterns on the mantel.
not a big deal since most of us view our tanks like hawks and would do something before that happened...just another thing to add to our list of items to watch for tho.
