Clams and Cleaner Gobies

Has anyone had any trouble with clams and the little neon cleaner gobies? I have had a pair for 6 months or so who are seem settled and breeding regularly in a cave at the far end of the tank.

However, while one of the pair looks after the fry in the cave my other one has taken to making a Deresa clam home. The clam is now staying shut quite a lot or barley opening as the goby perches on the mantle causing it to close again (always seems to jump without the clam catching it).
 
i had a goby do the same thing on one of my maxima and it really annoyed me. nothing really happened but when my goby died my clam was happier.
