Amazing tank and Copperband, quick question how do you feed it clams? Should I go to the grocery store and grab a couple fresh ones from the seafood department or buy them frozen on half shell like I see at my local LFS?

I would not feed it clams if you think you might like to keep clams in your tank someday. Plenty of other food you can keep them fat and happy on.

I start with live brine then after a few days move to frozen brine and then a few days later to frozen mysis.

Get fresh ones. Open the shell and serve it on the half shell.
If you find fresh ones with holes in them use that. It should be able to get its snout inside.
You can then stuff it with mysis and scallops and other things once it knows where the good stuff comes from.
