Yes but I would be concerned for the clam because all that irritation from the clowns could end up killing it. |

This usally happens when your clown was rasied with a bubble coral or anemonies to live in. Since I assume you do not have either your clown is going for the next best thing. To save your claim buy a good sized bubble or a nice anemonie would be just fine for your clown. After you add either to your tank try to keep the clown away from the claim and it should take to the anemonie of bubble quickly. | |
