Can I put a powder blue tang in with my clam?

Are any tangs safe with clams? I would really like a powder blue.

Sure none of my tangs mess with my clams,just remember PB'S are ick magnets.

How big of tank?

It's a 125g with about 125LB or rock. I love this fish but I don't know if I'm ready.

It's very rare that tangs do any damage to clams.

As far as I know most tangs are ok with clams, although I have caught my Purple Tang taking a quick nip at my Derasa on occasion (no damage done). In my case though I think my Purple Tang is just a Butthead!!! He pecks at me too!!

I got one before I was ready and regret it. It would not eat then got ich and died. It was only a 4 foot tank and I did not have a UV running. IMO if you have kept other tangs healthy then go for it.

Ive got 2 clams in my tank and neither my puffer nor my blue tang bother them...my two clown gobies perch on top of them, but they dont seem to mind none...
