Cleaner clams in a canister filter?

I know cleaner clams can be placed in a refugium to filter nitrates and such, but is it possible to put them into a canister filer, with a flow through rate of 220 gallons per hour? Anyone done this?

Cuz i dont have a fuge.... but Ill have a nice new canister filter with water polisher etc in about a week and figure a pair of cleaner clams would be good to pull nitrates out, if they can take the water flow and complete lack of light.

The cleaner clams like to be burried in sand, so I don't know how well they'll do in a canister. They don't need light.
That said, do not expect cleaner clams to fix nitrate problems.
