Question Linkia Stars

All right, new question for everybody that does not involve lighting issues with clams. My question is concerning Linkia stars and clams. I know that Orange Linkia Stars can/are clam preditors when the get larger. Has anybody had any problems with the Blue Linkia Stars and their clams?

actually that was not the point. The point was just a general question/discussion about the reef safeness of these stars.

They are completely harmless with clams. The only issue with them, as mentioned above, is keeping them alive for long. If you have the right tank (huge with lots of LR) you'll probably be fine.
