When I had my coral banded shrimp it didn't touch my clams. However, it had its eyes on polyps and other inverts so eventually I had to take him out. I want to say they are conditionally reef safe, and they are clam safe based on personally experience. But if you cherish your soft corals I wouldn't put one in.

I have a pair, and they've never bothered and corals or clams. I think they're much less likely to bother clams than cleaner shrimps would be, but they do love to eat bristleworms.
