there are several methods to feeding baby clams. The most popular is bowl feeding. You dip a bowl of tank water, add live based phyto and enough to just green the water. Place the clam in the bowl and allow it to feed for 20-30 min. Replace in tank. Another way is to cut the top off of a liter bottle of your favorite drink and sit it on top of the area the clam sits in and add the phyto into the "hat". Target feeding is a no-no. It can clog the delicate gills of mostly crocea clams but can any of them.
