you'llprobably have to spot feed the mussels.

youll need a licence to harvest.. and you have to replicate tidepools or currents pretty well. anythign is fair game as far a "do"ability

i was planning on it y? and what would i feed the mussles?

you should be able to find bottled "plankton" at your lfsor online.just pipette it in front (upstream) from the mussels, just like a feather duster.

or just dump it in your tank and theyll get to it sooner or later

but it is illegal to collect without a permit
