bristle worms and maxima clams

[gbartlett11]

my maxima loves the sand; does not like being attached to rocks, although when on the sand i notice bristle worms try to attach to his foot so im constantly picking him up and pulling them off. i have heard that bristle worms are both harmful and harmless to clams whats the story here.

I have only ever seen them go after clams when they are dead or dying, just in my experience

Does the clam close when you move your hand over it?
