They don't work well in reef tanks. People have tried.

Yeah I know. When I first got my 4 abalones, one died within a week. The rest have been doing well in my tank for some months now though

I wanted to pick some a few oysters from Sheng Siong last time but had dropped the idea. Not to cultivate pearl or for human consumption, but more for "LIVE" filtration in my sump tank. I guess they prefers algae diet than food waste..

Good idea to also check if they are temperate oysters.

Oysters and clams are filter filters. Their diet are mostly phytoplankton and microalgae (isochrysis). Commercial food like Phyto-Feast from Reef Nutrition, and others does contain the food required. Normal marine tank may not be able to keep them well fed..
