clams & mussels stay in one place for life
Mussels use byssal threads, which are protein fibers secreted by their feet, to anchor themselves to rocks or other solid surfaces. These threads create a strong bond that allows mussels to withstand turbulent waters and currents. Additionally, mussels use a technique called "byssal drifting" to reposition themselves when necessary.
Zebra Mussels...
Mussels are shellfish, not rabbits. I would suggest not feeding mussels leaves.
Zebra mussels have stripes.
Mussels and clams are generally good until they open. Probably around 1 week.
Freshwater mussels live in freshwater habitats like rivers and lakes, while saltwater mussels live in saltwater habitats like oceans and seas. Freshwater mussels tend to be smaller in size compared to saltwater mussels, and they have different behaviors and ecological roles in their respective ecosystems.
Bears can inhale freshwater mussels when they want.
The collective noun is a bed of mussels.
Surely raw mussels are fresh mussels meaning they are still alive,That being the case keep live mussels in a cool place in a pail/bucket of water and feed lightly with oatmeal cereal (not cooked) salt the water slightly...Then cook when required...Only eat the ones that open after boiling that is the safe way to be sure..Shellfish should not be stored in refrigerator in its raw state...Once cooked eat at once

No, mussels have no brain, as with all bivalves.
