What are siphons?
Siphons are tubes connecting from a higher reservoir to a lower reservoir. It is powered by hydrostatic pressure which is "the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity". To use a small scale siphon, you must suck on the bottom end until the water comes out. Because of equilibrium, the siphon will keep flowing.

Why do clams have siphons but mussels do not?
Clams have siphons to facilitate their feeding and respiration while buried in sediment, allowing them to draw in water and filter out food particles. In contrast, mussels attach themselves to surfaces with byssal threads and primarily feed by filtering water through their gills without needing siphons. This adaptation allows mussels to remain stationary and still effectively obtain nutrients from the water. Thus, the presence of siphons in clams is related to their burrowing lifestyle, while mussels have evolved a different feeding strategy suited to their environment.
Do clams and oysters have gills?
Yes, they do. This helps them filter the food that they ingest.
Can small clams eat tadpole poop?

What is a Clam lifestyle?
Clams are two-shelled mollusks that live in coastal waters and freshwater shallows. Clam shells are fused at the back with a ligament. There are two heavy muscles that open and close the shells. Clams have no head or extremities. They ingest water and food through two siphons, which are round openings. Clams breathe underwater through gills. Because they eat plankton, clams do not have to search for food. The water carries it right to them. Clams spawn in spring. The males release sperm and females release eggs into the water. When the eggs and sperm come together, fertilization occurs and new clams are born.
