Does anyone have "reef safe" butterfly fish with tridacnids in the tank?

I have been researching reef safe butterfly fish blogs for a while now and I may be ready to add a pyramid butterfly (If I can find one). Does anyone have experience with these fish in a true reef tank? If so - what do you have?

Didn't think there was such a thing lol

Pyramid butterflies are completely reef safe. They will not bother clams. Be sure to treat them for flukes before introducing them.

My pyramid butterfly has been completely reef safe with everything in my tank including maxima clams. Had him(?) for at least 2 years so far and will eat every food offered. Very active fish that is always out swimming front and center.

I had a copperband in my 125 with SPS, LPS, and soft corals. It was a good citizen.
I did not have a clam, though.
There must be people here with copperbands and clams.

I kept a copperband with a few maximas for about 4 years and it was never a problem. That said, from what I have read they vary from individulal fish to fish in terms of their reef-safeness, with at least some picking at corals and or clams.
