Every individual is different, but I had a bi-color that was hell on sps. I have heard of them nipping clams also, but every case is different.
How long have you had the clams?

Your clams haven't opened for 3 weeks!!!! 
You need to save them, fast. I think the blenny is the likely culprit. I have heard they nip at clams.
Be careful to take special care because it is likely that there may be some bleaching (or even death
) if they haven't opened up for 3 weeks!
What species are they? What size is your tank, and what kind of lights do you have?
Best of luck

I have Corcea x3 for 2 months. I'm using 150W MH x 2 in a 4feet tank. The clams are located at the top level, directly under the MH.
Out of sudden, they closed up on me. I have tried fresh water dip but with no improvment. The water condition in my tank is ok. Any other fish that I should take note, beside Bi-color Benny.
Pls advise on any immediate action.

I second the removal of your Bicolor Blenny.
My Clams are opening their mantle (50%) after I remove the Bi-color Blenny.
(The Benny was stupid enough to go into the outlet of my powerhead when I switch off the power. With a scoop, the Blenny was a history.)
On behalf of my Clams, I like to thanks those who had given me advice.
(One problem down, another one to solve - cyano problem)
