There have been several threads about putting oysters in reef tanks. I decided to give it a try.
I bought a couple dozen oysters from a local oyster farm. These are Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas). The ones I put in the tank were sold as extra small but they're all at least 2".
Most have opened up at some point in the last 18 hours or so though some have not. I'm keeping a close eye on them so they don't nuke the tank if one doesn't make it.
I also have a small California mussel that I collected almost a month ago, it is open but we'll see how it fares long-term.
