    Depending on their size they require feedings of phyto, generally when they are under 3-4". They require good lighting, T5 or better. As far as current they kind of pick that themselves when they find a spot they like.

    Strong lighting and medium to strong current. Phyto is not a necessity at all. Clams absorb nutrients from the water.
