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 Giant Clam, Tridacna Gigas, is the largest bivalve (mollusc) in the world!
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.
