I've had my Copper Band Butterfly fish for about three years and it's been no problem in my reef with all kinds of corals, and a Squamosa clam. The clam has also been in tank for close to three years. Recently I got a blue Maxima and the CBB started taking nips at it.So I took a 2 liter pop bottle and cut the top half off to cover the clam for a while so the CBB would get use to the idea of not nipping at it for a while. It doesn't go after the Squamosa though, witch is a tan color, not as bright as the blue Max.(I don't know if that's the reason, but why else) So I was wondering who else may have problems with CBB fish and reefs, and clams in particular.
Totally reef safe?

I've been contimplating a CBB for awhile but was told that they
are one of those fish(like my regal tang) that is reef safe for awhile and then after a year of two, eat corals or in your case clams. Sorry to hear someone else having this problem with fish. If you don't move him, he may kill your clam
It only took a week for my regal to take out an 8in star polyp colony
