Do clams do warfare?

There seems to be a sweet spot in my tank for clams. Have had these clams for almost 3 years, and they keep migrating toward one another until they eventually bump into each other. I used to keep separating them, but decided to leave them alone. Anyone foresee any problems?

When I had multiple clams near each other they would move together and then move again if not happy with the location.

Should be no issue. Nice clams by the way.

I just got my first clam the other day, but he is a little guy compared to yours.

Yours are very pretty.

A local guy actually had a small squamosa finally put its foot down on the outside of the crocea. No issues with it.

Thanks, all. Guess I can stop bothering them in moving them apart and just leave them alone.
