They are coming along well. I've got the shells opening and closing nicely, and am about to add the blue "meat" of the clam. There are two things which make this part difficult. First, the blue mesh must go up and over the jagged edge of the clamshells as they open, without the shells poking through at any point in their arc. And second, it must carry a trasparent shadow with it to cast over the shells as it covers them.

No time for previews, but the real thing is close.

I've never seen clams release bubbles as they open (except for the fake aeriator clams in freshwater tanks).

Yes, the clams will close if brushed by a fish.
