After all that, they didn't even find their clams in there! And why did they skin it?

They didn't find their clams in the stomach but at the end they didn't want to give up.. They wanted to analyse the stool sample..

I am puzzled by the skinning as well. I was hoping that one of them gets poisoned in there.. at least the puffer is dead when they are doing that.. I have seen some pretty inhumane videos of animals skinned for their fur while alive online.. YouTube is a evil place..

Yep--I've seen live puffers flopping around in vats at the market.

Maybe the puffer was presaging on the clams predators? Starfish can eat them, large crabs would have a go I imagine. Notice they covered themselves saying that clamshell was in its beak when speared, if it was clam would be in its stomach. Bunch of liars if you ask me
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
