Clam and anemone buddies?

[mhayes462]

Has anyone ever seen an anemone and a clam hang out like this before? They've been this way for a few months now. The clam was there before the anemone. Then the anemone decided to move under the rock and come up right underneath the clam and brush against it and crowd it all day. At first I was worried and tried to move the clam, but it wouldn't let go. I decided to just leave it. I figured if the clam was unhappy then it would let go. Anyone have experience with this? Will the anemone eventually kill the clam?

I surprsed the anemone isn't stinging the claim and all those corals.

Well, it's strategically placed so it doesn't touch any of the coral. The only thing it touches is the clam.

Must be a happy anemone not to move and clam thinks it the best spot in the tank too.
