What is the main food source for the clam?
Clams eat plankton and other microscopic things but you can feed them popcorn I would recommend that you pop the popcorn before you give it to the clam because a popcorn kernel is like a rock to us and them so make sure you pop the popcorn first and make sure the popcorn doesn't have ANY butter. It has to be regular popcorn but you can put salt on it to make sure that it tastes like what the clam would usually eat.

Is scallop a skin or scale fish?
An edible bivalve mollusk (family Pectinidae) with a ribbed fan-shaped shell. Scallops swim by rapidly opening and closing the shell valves.
Pearls grow in pearl-producing mollusks. Natural pearls occur when a mollusk's mantle tissue becomes damaged either by parasitic intrusion or damage to the shell. The mantle contains epithelial cells, which are responsible for the nacre deposition on the inside of the shell. If these cells become dislodged when the mantle is damaged, they may continue to deposit nacre within the body of the mollusk, creating a pearl.
A grain of sand neverproduces a pearl. This is a myth.
