Not normally commensal with Tridacnid clams but probably found it as the closest thing to what it normally lives with.  The Conch Fish actually lives inside the shell of a conch or a few types of bivalves.
Astrapogon stellatus, Conchfish : aquarium (http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Astrapogon-stellatus.html)

It could also be Astrapogon puncticulatus which is a cousin to Astrapogon stellatus.  Both are conch fish.
