Plenty of clams in the wild are exposed to air at low tide, so exposure to air isn't really an issue. However, burping is a valid practice, as...
I'd say zoanthid over palythoa, but for all practical purposes those are the same thing. :)
Yup, that's the Byssus filaments; what most people call the "foot". Those will attach to whatever rock you place it on within a few days. Nothing...
'Tis true. OP, what is the species at hand here? (A picture will suffice if you're unsure) No, I should have clarified live.
^ Atticus covered this pretty well already. :) But if the health of the fish is good and if it's maintaining it's weight, I wouldn't be overly...

Correct. Here: Buy Fish Online: Buy Tropical Fish, WYSIWYG corals, clams and inverts online at the Diver's Den® And here: Pacific Island Aquatics
A. granulosa was my other thought, but the corallites don't look quite right to me, and the growth pattern seems a little off.
A. caroliniana? Agree on needing a closer picture.
Not uncommon at all. They're simply rated at 1.3, but are almost always capable of more. I don't know how comfortable I'd feel running them that...
