This article covers them pretty well.
Any time you are removing/replacing sand you want to be careful. If you are doing it, do it like a quarter at a time and do a water change with it. We are overdue for a sump cleanout and it really should be a part of regular maintenance.
We have done cultures of tiger pods in the past and we do some brine shrimp as well for some extra food. Very easy to setup and a bottle can last you a long time.
Unfortunately not, we decided to go with more angels and I think the clam became a casualty of that. It looked really good for a while and then slowly started to recede until it died. I know a lot can go wrong with them so we are going to stay away while we have more angels.
They did not. We kept looking for it and then had to ask a few members of the staff as they had no idea what we were talking about. We googled it and realized the fish was there 10 years ago so not shocked it is no longer there
