There are lots of examples on the internet, check out some of the videos on these sites...

Far from being unnatural, it's my understanding that Jim has gone out of his way to make his clam movement as natural as possible.  
The videos show exactly what I was talking about, the clams seem to close all the way and then open up slowly.

Allot of times in the screen saver they close slightly or partially and begin to open again.

When several fish go by they resemble an accordion type movement.

Jim perhaps you should set the close speed to full speed and have them open up slowly.

I think that would cut down on the slinky like movement.
