To clam or not to clam...


ok, I got this 36g tank doing quite well for a newbie and I am not interested in fish but more on corals and inverts. I was wondering if I could grow a clam as one of my inhabitants.
I have a tank build in the tank forum

tank specs
36g Corner tank w/glass top

XP-2 Filter
65w dual 24" lights (Satellite by current)
2 timers for lights (12 hrs blue & 10 hrs white, moon light 12 hrs)
Hydor Koralia powerhead
Marineland Stealth heater
40 lbs live sand
40 lbs live rock

what can I try and how would i feed it?

Check out this article.

Pretty much anything besides a crocea and maxima will do fine, although they can outgrow your tank in a couple years.

No feeding necessary, they are fully photoautotrophic.
