We just got 3 new clams.
We dip all corals prior to placing in tank but I don't think that applies to clams. I can see little critter on the shell but looks like tiny copods no snails.
I will brush the shells w/ toothbrush prior to placing in tank.
Anything else I can do to help reduce bring pest into tank?
 
I went ahead and brushed the shell w/ toothbrush and aclimate them to the tank. Here are some photos.

They are very nice, specially, the last two. Are them resting directly on eggcrate (hard to tell from top view)?
 
I would build atray for them. This is so they can be removed from the current in the tank for feeding . Nice maximas and the squamosa is pretty aswell. good luck what are you feeding them?
