Hey everyone just stumbled across a site selling these today. Cleaner clams "Mercenaria mercenaria and I was curious if anyone has any experience with them? I'd love to give them a shot in a reef tank

I would not, the potential risk of one or more dying out weighs the small benefit of nutrient uptake by the clams.
I kept them to feed an octopus.
