If I had to guess I would say that one of your fish is developing a taste for clams. Try putting a strawberry basket or some other sort of protective cover over one of the clams and see if it opens up again

Default Clams

Totally a fish if opening up more at night.

Cleaner wrasses are known to be problematic with clams. Too bad I didn't notice that earlier.
