Cleaner shrimp vs. Clam?

[son of adam]

Why would my new cleaner shrimp mess up the mantel of my clam? It is picking at it and showing damage from the soon to be cocktail shrimp.

Is it common for cleaner shrimps to pick at clams?

I am not sure. I was interested myself, what others have seen. I have to tear down the reef to get this thing out with my water change ASAP.

Just got the SOB out of the 200! Put him in the 72 for now. It was clam diving and didn't see me coming with the net. 10 trys later! Never give up. I hope all is good with the clam.
