anyone ever throw a few of those little beach bivalves in their tank? I forget what they are called, but they live about an inch under the sand on the gulf coast. Cow nosed rays like to eat them.

I think you are referring to Coquinas. I researched this subject in the past and everyone said not to do it. They don't live very long in our aquariums.
It'll depend I belive on food availability in the sand.I think you are referring to Coquinas. I researched this subject in the past and everyone said not to do it. They don't live very long in our aquariums.

What else did you find.
In Galveston you can find peppermint shrimp, snapping shrimp, lots of blennies and gobies. I have even seen a copperband butterfly that was caught by net. Usually some interesting fish come up late in the summer when the wind dies down and the waves are a bit calmer. We used to call it "blue water time"...but the water wasn't very blue...I also found a sea pansy, but it didn't live long (my bad). Go to the tidal areas and pick up cans and bottles and pour them through a net, you can't tell what you might find. PS Please, dispose of the cans and bottles properly.
I think you are mistaken if a copperband butterfly was caught in texas
