Default Clam story

Just thought I,d share this because I read some negative stuff on cleaner clams(they die fast, waste of money).
Last summer while at the beach, I figured why not bring home a clam and put it in the refugium. Well its still alive after a year ? I dont know how it lasted , but Im thinking of getting some more this year.
So a Jersey clam made it a year without cocktail sauce, in a tropical enviorment.
Dose anyone see why I shouldn,t try some more???

eek, IMO you might be breaking a law by taking something living to your house. plus you dont know what affect it has on the entire clam population. I would check with parks and rec to see if it is ok first.

No problem with harvesting we are allowed to take 100 or so a day with a license.
These are just the regular "clams on the half shell", clams.
