Move the clam. The anenome will go where it wants, and if you tear it's foot, well, that would be bad

As already suggested, gently move the clam. Try to move it to a location with similar light and flow.

Good Luck!

if both are hard to move...meaning you can hurt either of them, but possibly if you "cover" the anemone just a little bit with loose rock it may move/attach to the smaller rock and you can place it elsewhere in the tank, but as said before the anemone will go where it wants...but once it finds a good spot it won't really move much.
