Is he new? I think new clams are just stressed from the move and stressed clams smell like food apparently. I've had this happen with new clams that the fish were all over it for the first day but it got all better afterwards. If they are really picking at it yeah put the basket over top so that they can't but after a day or two it should just be "yet another clam, same as the others" to them.
