It hasn't closed up on them yet so I suppose they don't irritate it too much. That being said, however, the only things that I don't like is that the clowns go into the clam through its inhalent (as you can see in the picture) and may be damaging the clam's gills. Also, when a clown fish wants it's "anemone" to move, they will nip at the "amemone's" base/foot to compel it to move. Soooo, the female will, from time to time, nip at the clam's mantle which doesn't seem to bother the clam as much as it bothers me.
