clams and other mollusks are mobile filter units. They are constantly filtering plankton from the water in which they live.

clams eat Phytoplankton and Zooplankton (microscopic plants and animals) which they filter from the seawater that they are in, much the same way a sponge does.

a clam's diet is mainly made up of microscopic plankton that it filters from the surrounding water.

If you want to feed them yourself use cornmeal. I used to go clamdigging a lot and if I didn't eat them right away, I kept them in a bucket of seawater and added some cornmeal. They eat the cornmeal and spit out the gritty sand they have in them. They will be more enjoyable to eat without the sand.
