Clam and anemone buddies?

Has anyone ever seen an anemone and a clam hang out like this before? They've been this way for a few months now. The clam was there before the anemone. Then the anemone decided to move under the rock and come up right underneath the clam and brush against it and crowd it all day. At first I was worried and tried to move the clam, but it wouldn't let go. I decided to just leave it. I figured if the clam was unhappy then it would let go. Anyone have experience with this? Will the anemone eventually kill the clam?

 

Here's a bump for your question.

Meanwhile, you might want to do a little research. It might be possible that the clam has a resistance to anemone stings; I've personally never experienced a nem touching anything live without stinging it, even if by accident, save for some clownfish (not all!) and one damsel, but then I've never owned a clam.

 

Keep an eye out. May be looking to buy the clams real estate.

 

Local store here has a 8" clam with a 4" rose bubble attached to it shell been like thwart for a good couple year s now and clam is always opened up. Ill try and get a shot of it next time I'm in there

 

Thanks for the input. It seems that the hobby as a whole, just really doesn't know. The funny thing is, it has 4 folds on the mantle and the area around the second fold up from the bottom started dying a lil while back. I was sure the nem had caused it and it was a goner. The shrimps were picking at it and all. It healed up and bounced back just fine with the nem on it the whole time.
