    Try moving it, sometimes when clowns dont like something they will nip at it to move it..But most likely....They wont be moving a clam any day..hopefullly..haha.

    Agree, you probably placed it too close to their residence. Relocate it to somewhere else in the tank.

    my clown fish hosted to my deresa clam. he just hangs out in it and the clam doesn't seem to mind at all. weird because i have a large frog spawn right above it.

    Watch out, I have skunk cleaner that killed two huge clams by pestering them. One was over 15"! Punk shrimp!
