Clams and Rod`s food

probably not, you are going to want to feed phyto. Make sure to turn your skimmer and return pump off when you feed it or it will be wasted

 

yeah if you want to feed something that is pallatable (or rather just the appropriate cuisine and particle size) you'll want to feed plankton around 10-40nm in size. Although a clam that has already reached that size will be fully autotrophic, he can produce all his nutritional needs nearly 3 fold just from the zoxanthellate that live in his mantle. James Fatheree's book, "Giant Clams in the Sea and in the Aquarium" totally awesome book, there is soo much more information about many facets of clam husbandry, once again, again and again and again, I have to recommend this book, it's totally excellent!

 

ahh yeah, those scott michael books are great, but they're essentially just a detailed atlas of different fish groups, which is totally cool, but it depends on what your after. I have every book from that collection, and then like.....a bugillion more
