What kind? Their color allows them to blend into the substrate which it attaches to. Mussels on the eastern coast have acquired thinker shells ever since the Asian Shore Crab was introduced a few hundred years ago.
Blue mussels are filter feeders, which means they are neither carnivores nor herbivores. They feed by filtering tiny plankton and other particles from the water using their gills.
The dark blue clumps of oval shaped shells are called mussels.
Both marine and freshwater mussels are filter feeders; they feed on plankton and other microscopic sea creatures which are free-floating in seawater. So they are omnivores, they eat both plants and animals
Mussels require a hard substrate to attach themselves to, such as rocks or other hard surfaces, in order to thrive. Sandy seashores do not provide the structural support needed for mussels to attach and grow successfully. Additionally, sandy environments do not offer the stable conditions mussels need to withstand waves and currents.
Yes, fish do eat mussels. actually I use to have a mussel in my fish tank, and the fish ate it. so i got four more mussels from a creek I go to, and it is fun to watch them eat. their tongue sticks out.
yes, but i don't know what ones it has...that is what i need to find out.
Yes, blue mussels are cold-blooded animals, meaning they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature. They are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature fluctuates with the surrounding environment.
Nope. Rabbits live on land, and mussels live in the water, for one. They are very different.
Blue Angel fish eat squid, shrimp or mussels.
Yes, they are!

a special adaptation is finding hidings spots from bigger more dangerous preditors
Mussels are typically dark blue or black in color.
You Make sure that they are well fed and that they have water in their tank =)
