Help with algae on clam

[navysandsquid]

I have this clam and I introduced a frag with turf algae on it and some how managed it's way on my clam and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. I bought 2 emerald crabs last week and they haven't touched it. Anyone have any ideas

Just put the clam in a small container of display water and scrub the truff algae off with a tooth brush. If the clam is attached you'll have to carefully remove the clam.

I guess I'm just afraid to damage him or keep him out of water to long

Is the clam attached to a large rock or something else?

You do not even have to expose the clam to air (although it would do no harm if you did).
