Clown Pair Hosting Clam

[SD Actuary]

Has anyone ever heard of a clown fish pair that hosts a clam?

I have frog spawns, GSP, hammer corals, an awesome red hadoni, and a sick bubble tip anemone. Yet these stupid things will not leave the mantle of my big ol' maxima clam.

Is this common?

I have seen this in my LFS. The owner told me this really is quite common.

Yup heard of it happening before.

A LFS owner here once told me that a clownfish was hosting his 10"+ maxima and was actually swimming in and out of the byssal opening. I believe he thinks this is what eventually led to the death of the clam.

I have 3 that host a clam. The clam does not mind the clowns hosting him,
