Need some advice

[FishingGoalie]

So my sand sifting goby decided he was going to make his home under my clam which lays on the sand. Could there be potential problem with this? Im worried it will injure the foot of the clam. Should i be worried?

Thanks

Its not the sand getting dumped on it its just living directly under the clam

I would say it's probably not a good thing. It won't directly harm your clam but it will irritate the hell out of it and possibly cause it to deteriorate.

Hmm the goby doesn't seem to stay in the same place for very long.

I have never had any issues with my gobies hanging out under my clams. In fact, a lot of fish like to hang out under there from time to time.

Having said that, some clams are a lot more sensitive than others and those ones will tend to close up frequently whenever they are contacted. You kinda have to just keep an eye on that. If the clam remains wide open while the goby is hanging out underneath temporarily then I wouldn't worry about it.

My goby once again moved and found a different place to live. I don't know what he's doing he's had 3 homes in the last day
