Not likely.

i have a huge colony of anthelia and they touch alot of things with no problems.they are very peaceful and i doubt it would sting a clam.i worry more about other corals that might sting it.

my anthelia never bothered anything except a patch of yellow polyps it surrounded and smothered once. I would not let them grow on the clam shell though. that might annoy the clam.

Not enough data to say for sure. For about 10 months, mine has not bothered the clams' mental.

Anthelia is pretty when it copmes to stinging things, but it can be a little when it comes to growing over things it can grow quickly and smother things.

10 months is not enough time to determine if your anthelia is stinging the clam's mantle?

It needs 10 months and 1 day to be SURE. J/K J/K.
I just want to be careful so I say not FOR SURE and thus provide my experience of 10 months xenia with clams side by side for him to decide on his own.

Thanks peoples for the quick responses!
I only have a small amount of anthelia marooned on a single rock.
The new clam is sitting next to it, and I just wanted to make sure (clam be expensive/anthelia be cheap).
So far no problems, and they look great together-like a jeweled egg in a nest!
