Ha! I really meant the cat.

Well you would fit right in back in the day. People use to sleep in two shifts. 1st sleep and second sleep. In between they where awake fir 1-3 hours. It was encouraged to copulate during this period. Secret societies and meetings happened in this time in between sleep.

I think that 1-3 hour period turned into Happy Hour!

Happy Cinco de Mayo chicos y chicas!

Coquinas well from what I gather they are a no go. Very specialized individuals. They live right in the surf zone. High oxygenation and loads of suspended food. I will not be able to duplicate that at all. There seems to be a risk that they may pass on persisted to predators. Thay are so small that that may be a concern.
Unless @Ron Reefman has something else to say. They wont be going in my tank. A fun rabbit hole to jump into.

OK, so I take 18 hours to get to follow up on my name being called out, and 6 pages of this thread develops. Is this all you guys do?!?!?! ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

@sfin52, you are absolutely right! I tried them a couple of times (2 different tanks). They only bury themselves in the sand and over a few day die off. They live by the hundreds or even by the thousands at the surf/beach interface. But only end up completely underwater for 2 to 4 hours at a time during high tide.

They are very pretty and I wish they could work... but they are a no go except as food for crabs and they end up as empty shells in the sand.

I have found a small clam that also bury themselves in the sand that does survive long term in the tank. There are actually several variations of Venus Clams that inhabit Florida waters and survive in captivity.

Those Venus clams look a lot like the clams that used to turn into driveways and shell roads down here. Thankfully you don't see that here anymore, or at least I haven't seen them. Just an old memory now. Those and oyster shells. Ever walk barefoot on an oyster shell driveway?
