does a clams mantel have to be fully extended

[LOTUS50GOD]

I have several clams in my tank. Recently I added a few 'swimmers' that cause the clam to suck in. Part of the mantel is exposed, but nothing like what it was before the swimmers. Will the clam get used to the new fish swimming overhead?

no one knows about clams

i recently put a neon goby in my tank that loves to sit in my deresa clam. At first the clam always shut when the goby landed on it but now it barely flinches. it should go back to normal

The fish shouldn't bother the clam by swimming near it, unless they are nipping at the mantle.
