    My orange spot goby just started doing this as well. He is really irritating me, as he keeps picking up shells and throwing them on top of my Maxima clam, nearby his den on a rock. He literally covered my clam in 5 minutes. The clam successfully clears the debris from itself with no problems, but it's irritating, as he picks right back up and starts covering the clam again.

    Sorry, I know this does nothing to help you, but just wanted to say I'm confused as well.
