Most clams do and will grow much faster than fish.

I guess it's not safe to assume anything. Don't know where I got the idea that clams didn't grow that fast. Coris gaimard might be a viable option then if I can find a place to trade it in when it gets too big. I will have to learn more about clams (and SW fish) before I get any. This seems like a good place to start, I'll also check
www.clamsdirect.com. (seems like a popular place).
1) What do you use to scrub them?
2) How long do you need to quarantine them before you can be sure they're not infested?
3) Do I need another MH light for the QT?
4) Once the clam is established would you be able to see the offending critter attacking it from a normal viewing angle before signs off stress are apparent?
5) Anybody recommend a good book on maintaining clams in a mini-reef?

When inspecting the shell I also take the clam out of the tank and put them in a shallow container so the clam is not out of the water longer than necessary.

6) Could I be trying to gather so much info so fast that I'm starting to misprocess it? (Here again I don't know where I got my info but I was under the impression that taking them out of the water at all could kill them.)
Sorry about the long posts and all the SNQ (stupid newbie questions).
I just like to keep the trial & error (torture) phase to a minimum when I start bringing animals home.
TIA for all the info.
