So there is space for other things.
Clams suck in and expel water through their siphon tubes to filter food particles out of the water, to breathe (by running the water over gills), and to eliminate waste.
No, the manila clam is saltwater.
The clam has two siphons. The excurrent siphon (which expels water and waste out of the clam) and the incurrent siphon (which brings oxygen and food and water into the clam).

The organelle that allows free-living protists to expel excess water is called the contractile vacuole. This structure collects excess water that enters the protist's body and then contracts to expel it, helping to maintain osmotic balance and prevent the cell from bursting in hypotonic environments. Contractile vacuoles are particularly important in freshwater protists, where water influx is constant.
