Nassarius and Clams

I have a few nassarius snails and my one T. squamosa. I've noticed the snails are sometimes crawling on the clam's shell and scare the clam to close. Has anyone had any problems with these snails and their clams? I don't want them to kill it.
 
Exam your Nassarius closely. I have a few "Nassarius" which have grown into rather large carnivorous snails. In that family of snails, only 2 or so are true scavengers, and the people who collect and sell them don't always care what they sell you.
 
Does the color of the shell indicate what specific kind they are? I have 1 with a dark shell and 3 with a light shell.
