My trochus snail is attached to the underside of the clam's mantle. It's been there for a few hours. The mantle is extending normally. Should I just leave them alone, or do something so that the snail can't climb onto the clam again? By the way they are newly bought and are still in the quarantine.
 
Just leave it alone. It happens all the time in my tanks. Even the Emerald Crabs get in there pick off some algae.
