What this episode covers
The clam is living a peaceful life on the ocean floor not too far from the shore. It slowly grows its shell by oozing calcium from its mantle. When it eats, it must open its armor to suck in the nutrients around it. What if a grain of sand doesn't get filtered out by the internal gills?
