@Paul B always says one of the secrets of success is fresh clams. I've found that fresh little neck clams are the easiest and best for my tank. I've tried steamer clams (shells are too thin and shatter when opening), mussels (not enough meat and they are kind of gross, lol), cockles (supposedly the best, but the only place I know that has them doesn't inspire freshness), and cherry stones (too big).
I readily buy them by the bag (2 pounds) and freeze them. A few times a week I pull out 2 (the porky usually eats one and the other fish peck at the other one until he realizes there js another one), defrost for 20 minutes and the shell pops open. I open it up and chuck it in.
The fish go crazy for them. The foxface, tang, angel (when I had one), and tusk all go nuts over them. I also feed LRS Chunky food.
