Not much. They eat by opening their shell a little bit and letting water rush in. Then, they suck all the nutrients out of the water and let it back out again. This is called filter feeding. They don't move around much, so they use filter feeding instead of swimming out into the open and risking getting eaten by predators. Some make pearls, and others don't. The ones that make pearls are called feathered oysters. That's all I know so far. I hope I helped!

== == The common name oyster is used for a number of different groups of bivalve mollusks, most of which live in marine or brackish water. The shell consists of two usually highly calcified valves which surround a soft body. Gills filter plankton from the water, and strong adductor muscles are used to hold the shell closed. Some of the groups known as oysters (true oysters) are highly prized as food, both raw and cooked, but some other groups that are called oysters (such as the pearl oysters) are not widely eaten, at least not in recent times. True (edible) oysters are in fact incapable of making gem-quality pearls, although the opposite idea is a commonly-encountered misapprehension, often seen in illustrations or photographs where an edible oyster shell is mistakenly paired with a gem-quality pearl. The oyster is used as a metaphor in an idiomatic saying, "The world is your oyster", which means that if you pursue your dreams and work hard enough, you will eventually reach the pearl within the world.
