This is a rather helpful video:

Excellent idea. Nice tank too. I use mysis also for the butterfly with a baster to make sure it gets enough. Mine will actually come to the baster and pick em out ......

They also sell claims on the half shell they are frozen ask your LFS to get them.

I have fed fresh clams before, but always took theprecaution of freezing the clam first to kill any parasites that might be in the animal. Just saying...

 

[saltymac2012]

Thats a good idea, but I thought they were packed in ice at the store? I could be wrong. Never really bought them fresh.

Being packed in ice doesn't necessarily freeze them - it only keeps them cold so they don't spoil.

OK makes sense, but doesnt ecoli and others survive even freezing?

 

[geridoc]

You are right - many bacteria will survive freezing, but in a healthy marine tank there is enough bacterial competition going on that the chances of a bacterial infection are relativelylow. The bigger worry, imho, would be parasites or pests, most of which would be killed by freezing,

ok, thanks for the info.

Seeing that video gave motivation to get a CBB, and after trying brine shrimp, etc. I gave it soMe clam on a rock and it ate all it could find. Thanks.
