Is this too small?

i am getting a 40 gallon reef tank for christtmas and was wondering how mant cuttles i could keep. Im really into sepia bandensis and have hadone before. could i put a mated pair in there? or maybe a trio

That would probably good for 3-4. But by reef tank what do you mean? As in reef ready, or full blown reef? Some of the corals in a reef tank will sting and cause damage to the cuttles. Also, they will most likely eat all the fish, crabs (except hermits) and shrimp...

i'm thinking about an sps and clam tank

most sps i believe will sting cuttles. the clam should be cool.

 

[cephaloholic]

sps do not sting cuttles. it's lps that sting

Sps can be sharp though. That may pose a problem. I understand cuttlefish bodies are pretty fragile.
