It is hard to tell by the picture but when I had it on one clam the edges of the mantles looked almost rolled up or folded. Clams don't take well to anything touching there foot. Try building a base for your clams and burry it a bit under the sand they should grab on to that. As for the snails you will probably have to manually pick the clam up and inspect it every few days especially if it does not look happy and scrub them off. Its a good practice to scrub a clam with a tooth brush not yours but someone else's, while its being acclimated.

I had pyramid snails on one of my clams once and I thought the clam was a goner. I picked the snails off and scrubs with someone else's toothbrush and then went on vacation for 12 days, man when I got back, I though the clam would be empty, but it was thriving. I couldn't believe it.
