I have neverheard of Cyano hurting a coral by way of the water stream.

That epoxy putty is a different story though.

if some of the glue floated away from what you were gluing and landed on the clam, maybe it would hurt it. but the odds of this happening are small. I'd look for another source.

i really can say what happened ,,eveything is doing very well in my tank ,,it happened right after i glued some stuff in my tank ,,i guess the odds are against me ,,R.I.P clam and mushroom ,,

sorry, that sucks.
I've used that glue in my tank all the time, no problems yet.
can you look at the clam and see anything that looks like glue on it?
nothing else was effected?

the clam and one filry mushroom was affected ,both at the same time ,,,couldnt see anything in the clam ,do to when i got up the next morning half of it was deteroirated,the mushroom was as well ,took them out in the garbage ,no need to keep them in the tank ,,next time i glue something in my tank i willl SHUT of the pump and wait a min or 2 before turning it back on ,i think that was my mistake ..

the only problem I've had with cyano glue is that it seems to be a great place for nuisance algae to grow.

I have heard of cleaner shrimp picking at it when first placed in the tank, resulting in stuck shrimp.

I don't think it's a good idea to use glue on Clams, they'll attach by itself.
For mushroom, try using a net and rubberband on a piece of rock. It'll attach nicely. I have done that a number of times while fragging mushroom and ricordia. It'll attach to the rocks after a week or two. Good luck.

I only use glue on LPS and SPS.
