Angel eating clam
I have had a new cherub angel for about three months now who has suddenly discovered that my giant clam is quite tasty. Any one have any ideas how to discourage this? The clam has been staying shut out way to long.

Take out the Angel. Once they get that first taste there is really nothing you can do. Its either the clam or the fish.

feeding more wont do anything.
once they get a taste for coral or clam, they almost never stop. would you go back to mcdonalds if you could have filet mingon (hypothetical situation.. so no vegan arguments  )

just built a 3 sided cage out of some small plastic egg crate material I had laying around, and used the aquarium side as the 4th side. Not real pleasing the eye, but should keep the two apart till I decide what else to do.
