clam and a cleaner shrimp

I've had a problem with the combo once before. Now that I have two new tanks, 140 gallon and a 100 gallon one just finished cycle and the other already has a cleaner shrimp. You guys have the combo? Safe?

cleaner shrimp only eat clams when the clam is already dead or dieing.

You should wait to add any clams until your tanks have been up and running for at least six months.

O I wouldn't try that until then anyway. My 140 is up now for a month and a half the the 100 is up now for about 4. The first only has a coral that came out of nowhere and the second only has one fish, cleaner shrimp, and two corals all doing great.
