How often to feed crocea clam?

[Bryce_Thomas]

I have a 1" crocea clam I got and he is happy and healthy, I am feeding phyto, how often should I feed? I have a nano tank and the instructions say to feed 1 drop per gallon per day, but I know many experienced reefers have their own tips and tricks. Any advice?

People have mixed experiences nutrient wise with live phyto.
For me it lowers them
I feed 1ml per gallon a day for 6 clams in an SPS dominant tank.
I'd start with half that & monitor parameters closely until you get a feel for it

I feed mine daily.
I feed it light, a peak PAR of over 300 umol/m2 for 6 hours.

The light is so much more important than how many drops of phyto to dose.

I have never specifically fed a clam.

They get what they need from fish wastes and light.

It is not needed to "feed" clams other than the proper light spectrum, intensity, and duration. They will filter feed from the water column to get n and p. I dont think phyto will hurt just probably not needed if you have fish and are feeding them.
