    Hello everyone any tips ob how to keep an anemone off the clam ive moved the anemone once and with in two hours the anemone has found the clam again. Im a bit concerned because the clam closes up when the anemone attaches itself to the clam shell lol. Thx in advance for your response!!

    might be a case , the clam is where the nem wants to be. nems wil lfind their own sweet spot, you usually cant dictate that. can you move the clam instead? if you do move the clam. be very careful with its byssal thread(foot) that it doesnt tear.
