Free Sand-Sifting Clams

I ordered a bunch of sand-sifting clam/mud from the following guy:

I got it yesterday and used a small amount to seed my little refugium. It looks exactly like the picture. It is a very claylike substrate with sand grains throughout. Most of the clamshells you see are simply empty shells, but I think there's a bunch of live ones in there too...but no guarantees...I'm trying this stuff for the first time too.

You can pickup at my work today near Burnet/183.

If interested, please e-mail me at:

found any live clams in there yet?

I just dumped a little in my refugium, in the back where I can't really see, and gave the rest to River City Aquatics. They said they might put it in their refugium, but I wouldn't blame them if they just got rid of it. If they did put it in their refugium, you might be able to go by and look. I dunno. I never could see a live one when I was looking through it. I think the guy just scoops some sand out of the ocean and sells it, which would be fine if there was anything alive in it, and if the living things came from the right climate.
