Yellow Goby bothering clam

[DavinD]

I've had my Crocea for almost a year and have never had any problems with it. I had a yellow clown goby in a small tank at work that I decided to take down and added him to my tank at home with the clam. I noticed after a day or so that the goby would sit on top of or in the clam. This did not seem to bother the clam until yesterday. Yesterday when I got home I noticed that the clam was closed up. He's never been closed up when the lights are on before. Should I be alarmed? The Crocea is well up in the tank under 150W MH.

It may just be coincidence. Ive seen many people with clowns or clown gobys that live "in" the clam, but never bothered it. Keep an eye out, but I dont think 1 day is enough to classify as harrassement.

Thanks for the reply. He was opened up yesterday but a little more "skittish" than usual. I'll give it a few more days.
