tooth corals

[anthony27]

I want to know I have a tooth coral aka galaxy coral, kill a clam.

I would like to know this because over the weekend I have the clam on a rock in the tank. I moved over the tooth coral and now the clam is dead.

The clam was about 5 inches and yes i did feed the clam.

I have 2 other clams in the tank a dressa and a squamie. Both are opening up fine.

I also might have thought it was the flow of the water and to much flow would kill the clam.


Any views, and no it was the the snails either I check the whole clam.

Galaxy coral does put out stringers and is pretty deadly. I know it can and will kill other corals, not sure about a clam, so you need to give it some distance from other corals.

As for the Galaxy coral killing it, well clams can be pretty delicate and sometimes just go.

I agree with you 100% on that. I know one of my sps was stung and died and now my rainbow froggie is getting hammered by this coral.

This is the reason I don't have this coral in my tank.The stringers it puts out are also very long.

O tell me about it, they are very long
