It shouldn't, I have 2 clay pipes in my moray tank with no water issues. If you're in doubt, stick the pot/pipe in a bucket of water for a few days and check what happens.
i put a clay pot in my tank because it releases a special chemical that softens up the water every month, constantly. so that saves up the adding salt to my tank every month
Was about to ask the same thing - surely then your clay pot would be dissolving? And are you sure its a clay pot?
yeah... that clay pot sounds a bit iffy. it wouldnt be in my tank if its leaching things into my water.
to the OP if your worried about adding clay pots to the tank either leave them in a bucket and monitor the params for a few days, or get some PVC pipe and use that instead. if it was going in my tank, id get some slate or flat rock and cover the pipe with that too.
a) i dont like the look of plant pots in aquaria
b) it will hold the pipe in place, stopping it being moved around in the tank.
c) i like the look of slate...

we have 2 C.tiles, both just over 2 ft long, and its all we can do ( short of feeding them) to get them out of their pvc pipes! We also found its a good idea to take the pipes out occasionally to make sure there is no decaying food hidden within
