Clown hosting clam??

[krichardson]

Anyone heard of a clown hosting a clam?? I think mine has, he always swims above it and never seems to leave it. i have an anemone in the tank i was hoping he would host but he hasn't yet, but i recently put a clam in and i think he's hosting that instead. the only problem i really have with this is that he keeps scaring the clam and picking at it, which probably is stressing the clam out. should i be worried??

I actually posted (a few weeks back) a pic of my Clown hosting my clam.
He literally slept right on top the the mantle of the clam. The clam wouldn't close up on him, for whatever reason. After a couple of weeks he moved on.
It always bothered me. I just new the clam was going to get startled and slam shut killing the stupid little clown.

I'm not really worried about the clown, he doesn't seem to get close enough to get hurt. i am more worried about the clam because the clown is nipping at the mantle

anyone remember that pic of the hippo tang getting his nose stuck in a clam that closed up on him?
