Freakin brilliant!!!! What an awesome idea!!




As for your clam, the foot is still there, its the round thing inside, what is missing is the byssal gland/byssal threads that hold the clam to surfaces. It might be able to regrow them but it takes time. If the gland is too damaged it might not grow back at all. Be sure to set the clam on top of something so critters can't get into the shell from underneath.
