Alina Kuzmich - 2012-03-21 Clams move with their foot. Their foot has to be muscular to help them move a good bit of a distance. Sometimes they can move an extreme distance if the current is strong. The currents can also help clams move. Examples: mussels and clams
Charlie Roche - 2011-11-18 The clam sorta burrows its 'foot' (body) out of the shell and into the sandy bottom and pushes itself in a forward motion. It uses the current in waters to carry it along.
The massive Giant Clam, Tridacna Gigas, is the largest mollusc in the world!
I'd love to give your clam a new house. I have 110g reef tank set up 25 hrs. He'd LOVE IT!
It needs to be set up for at least 6 mos
Hi ALL! I was wondering if the giant clam can be kept in a large tank. I love clams! Johny L. Mayne
Yes they can but will need a very large tank for a permenant home!
Yes but it has to be big.
