I've seen them at the beach. I've seen less colorful ones for sale on another site. Great colors and filter feeders to boot. I wonder how they would do in an aquarium.

Coquina clams (Donax sp.) These are very common on Texas beaches and they are massive filter feeders. They will die in 95% of tanks due to lack of food.
