    niger triggers are supposed to be more reef safe. I would say no to clams with them however especially as it gets older. I had a large show niger with my golden puffer. I fed my puffer a clam that was dying as a treat and the niger went right after the clam. Not sure if it only did it because the puffer was or not, but i would not trust one after this
