Are Clams worth empowering for?

There's also the fact that pearls are so much more useful than water gems (except for a modest supply for the cheap water items...quickness items, FR items, and frost brands...only 5-10 gems for all or almost all of them). The only big water expenditure I'd really consider are the Queens. So if you've got a significant water income Clamming makes a lot of sense.
