What do clams?
Clams don't do a lot. They sit at the bottom of a lake and move very slowly across the sandy floor. They have an appendage called a foot they use to slowly move and they have have another appendage that sticks out of the shell to suck in water which they use to filter out alga and plankton which is what they eat.
How do clams support themselves?
Clams move around by opening and closing their shells repeatedly. They are not filter feeders like oysters or mussels. Since they swim around, water circulates through their shells, and they get their food that way. Clams' main predators are starfish. ( I think that's right...)
How are sea stars able to get clams open?
Clams open when cooked because of the pressure that builds inside of them. When temperatures increase the molecules and atoms inside of the shell move fast enough to pop the shell open.

How do clams move in the water?
Since giant clams cannot move themselves, they adopt broadcast spawning. They release sperm and eggs into the water. A transmitter substance called Spawning Induced Substance (SIS) helps synchronize the release of sperm and eggs to ensure fertilization. The substance is released through a syphonal outlet. Other clams can detect SIS immediately. Incoming water passes chemoreceptors situated close to the inccurent syphon, which transmit the information directly to the cerebral ganglia, a simple form of brain. In other words... Nope
