I live on the east coast of Florida and am amazed at the amount of periwinkles / Donax clams on the beach. I'm sure Octopus will eat them, but ya think Cuttlefish will dig for them in the sand in my tank? Could be a good source of food for the little guy and probably some sort of entertainment for him as I am trying to make a living!
I get about 25 per handful of sand off my beach, free food! Good article below.

i dont thank it will, sry but my cuttle has not made any intrest in any type of clam or snail. but i believe you are getting an oficiallis, so it might, but i doubt it, but if you live in fla, you will have fiddler crabs, which i know they will eat

The prey had to move for the cuttle to be interested. I eventually got my cuttles to eat dead shrimp out of my hand, so you could try snails and clams once yours are big enough to eat dead food...

My cuttles only ate small fish (minnow size) and shrimp. The prey had to move for the cuttle to be interested. I eventually got my cuttles to eat dead shrimp out of my hand, so you could try snails and clams once yours are big enough to eat dead food...

I doubt the cuttle would eat dead food, however. You could try waving it around or swooshing it around on a feeding stick....that might get it interested and recgonise it as food.

BTW, double post from cuttlegirl.

:oops: Sorry about the double post, I was trying to edit the post, but instead I posted twice... my cuttles did eat dead shrimp, but it took a lot of training (on my part and theirs...)
