DT's, Golden Pearls etc
 
I second Reef_Raf. Don't take the clams out of the tank. Leave them be, and just feed the water column. Those people who advocate taking clams out and feeding them in a container outside the tank, are playing with fire IMHO.

Clams can die VERY easily -- it doesn't take much at all to lose them.

Don't get me wrong: I love these guys, but they are as hardy as a wet kleenex held underwater (I couldn't think of a better analogy, sorry...)

PS. Also second Reef_Raf's bit about spot-feeding ... don't. I've never tried this so I odn't have first-hand experience, but I've heard it's not a good idea, for the reasons Brad points out. Just feed the water column ... nothing else.
