Has anyone ever had clownfish try to host a clam? Will it hurt the clam? Clam stopped closing when they go into it.

It's pretty common, we had a clown that lived in a squamosa. Typically it won't hurt the clam as long as the clam is not constantly trying to stay shut. The squamosa eventually never reacted to the fish after a few weeks. View attachment 1064594
