just to chime in here, i agree that phyo is important in order for clams to thrive. yes, their mantles contain zooxanthellae, and they do benefit from this, however, it can be likened to eating fast food every day. you may be able to live on it, but you certainly won't be as healthy as if you eat a good diet.
clams have a completely formed and functional digestive tract, and this is no accident...clams need to eat. the real key to offering clams phyto and other suspended planktonic foods is size. the food items must be within the 2-80 micron range in order for the clams to actually eat it, thus benefitting from it.
just my .02...
Greg, what do YOU feed YOUR clams and how often ??
