I picked up 2 small clams and they have a little pipe that come up the side of them I'm not to sure what it is? When I feed them it looks like white strings come out of it. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Vermetid snails, I call them "fishing worms"
Here is a pic fronm the hitchhiker ID thread here on swf.com

another pic, close up (photo taken by Piotr Rotkiewicz)

I let mine be, I don't have the heart to kill them but they are a bit of a nuisance, where they touch corals they make them close up and not look as nice
Is this what you have?

vermitid snails
kind of neat - their born on their parent and then crawl to where they set up house and spend the rest of their life.

Then again, we can't have a positive ID without a pic.
