Do clams move

[meowzer]

OK...I have heard they jump (whatever that means) I have a squamosa on the sand...when I left for work it was tilted one way...came home today and it was tilted a different way...NOT A LOT...
Could it have turned by itself

have foot will travel..scallops move by snapping the shell real fast. You wouldn't think critters in a shell could go anywhere.

You know how it is, get something new...everytime it does something ...you just don't know....

they sure do when i got my maxima every time i look in the tank for the first week or so he was in a different position. hasn't moved in months now so i gues he found the perfect spot and flow.

Meowzer, you act like you don't believe me when I said my maxima jumped. He was rooted down hard on the rock under my plating coral and jumped to the sand bed -- not like my tangs picked him up and carried him

HEYYYY...the very first thing I said was
I have heard they jump
This was just moved a little bit....I figured if it had jumped it would have gotten further

 

[abeandlulu]

I have never seen one jump ( im not saying they dont jump) but i have seen them scoot. they close there shell real fast and it causes them to move. My clam tryed to move himself while he was still in the bag a poked a hole in it.

 

[jackri]

Well obviously they don't have legs or anything but he released his hold and they contract and "water jettison" a little bit and that can be enough to make them "jump" off any rocks.
Sorry they don't physically jump then lol
