Best Answer

Shrimps are mainly scavenger feeders who live of the detritus at the bottom of the seas and oceans.

There are some who are specifically adapter to clean fish and have a symbiotic relationship with them. The fish are happy to allow the cleaner shrimp to climb all over them and remove parasites form the fish body, while the shrimp gets a free lunch.

They use their claws and a pair of paddle like legs to pick up and waft food into their mouth parts.

Clams are dug up out of the mud. They can be found about an inch to 2 inches below the mud surface at low tide. Typically they are dug up with a rake or shovel.
