inverts with sharks

[topfish]

What inverts can be kept with sharks without being attacked,(I know no shrimp, or crabs, but what about corals and anemones?)

No chance, consider them lunch.

Not even anemones or corals? Man, I thought it would look pretty cool, wit hcorals in the tank.

Banded coral shrimp, giant hermit crabs, conchs, cowries, brittle stars, boxer shrimp, pencil urchins, decorator crabs, spiny lobsters are among the few. Just remember these will work and if they are introduced into the tank before the shark, there is a good chance your shark will never both any of them. However, there is always that chance depending on the shark.

Can clams be kept with sharks?

 

[topfish]

Anyone? ?

Well, clams need strong, very strong lighting, and most sharks available generally do best in subdued lighting, because the majority of them are nocturnal. And besides, if the shark doesnt eat them, then water quality more than likely will be pretty bad b/c sharks are messy eaters, and inverts need water quality much better than any aggressive fish. Yeah, I too think that a shark in a reef tank would be pretty cool. I have seen a few sharks in reefs, but that was in Belize...
