Quahogs that escape natural predators (and the chowder pot) can live 60 years or more. They bury themselves in sand or mud at the bottom of a bay and feed on microscopic plankton, which they gather by siphoning water over their gills, where the food collects, and then moves to the clams digestive system. Quahog shells with lots of purple make the best jewelry (naturally). Heres why jewelry-quality shells are so scarce.
