cleaner clams

[Bill S]

On top of temperature, also remember that these guys are often grown in bays, where the salinity is less than the ocean. They ARE found in inlets, where the salinity is the same as seawater, but just remember...

i caught a few a long while back Moe but from i saw lots didn't like the move and died and the ones that did make it didn't last long because my tank "crashed"

the ones you buy online are colleted from colder areas and they dont last long i would try to get the ones from CC, port A, SPI since its warm there. Be ready for the internet police to get mad about you collecting them ( but it is legal to get them)

I found one of these in Rockport fishing lastyear, the water ws real clear and we were wade fishing and I collected about 20 or so hermit crabs and then spotted a clam somehow, and brought them home. Mine buried himself in the sand right away and lasted some time, but I think my Niger Trigger got ahold of him maybe cause I just found an empty shell lying in the tank one day.

very awesome feedback thanks guys. I'll be sure to acclimate them before letting loose.
