If it seems to be annoying the clam, I would separate them (different tanks, or different compartments or whatever). If the clam is not looking worse for wear, you could let it be. But keep an eye on things.

That's kind of what I was thinking. The clam hasn't been in the tank all that long (2 weeks) and has anchored itself to the rock it was placed on. It still opens and looks great except for where the shrimp hangs out, but that doesn't look damaged. Possibly critters in the shell. I will do what you suggest and keep an eye on the clam and separate them if it comes to that.
Thanks
