I've been importing and keeping clams for 20+ years and I continually hear the same myths about them. Unfortunately it's like that about a lot of things in this hobby. Someone somewhere years ago made a proclamation about something and forever forward that same statement is repeated and embellished until it becomes reefkeeping gospel. Many of these myths are being smashed in the new age of modern reefkeeping, but some will just not die.
I regularly do videos about clam care and try to put out my personal views on the subject. Despite handling many many thousands of clams and setting up clams farms in far off locations, I do not consider myself an expert. I dislike that term. Online everyone pretends to be an expert, in real life no one is. We all continually learn from ongoing experiences.
Here is one example:
If you have any clam related questions check out the video and my site. If there is something you are not sure about ask and I'll be glad to try to answer.
They are amazing creatures for sure!
This week we have 450 clams coming from the farm in Tahiti and the farm in Tonga. We have recently obtained the first aquaculture permit in Tonga and have already begun culturing clams there and hope to soon begin our new coral farm there.
