The ClamsDirect guy has a page on feeding the wee ones here:

Clams are filter feeder and do not require any special feeding.  I like to feed my babies (1" to 2") DT's Marine Phytoplankton.  

 

This is what I do, take your small clam out and place in a bowl with your tank water and put just enough DT's to turn your water a light green. Leave the clam in there for about 20 minutes and the water will turn clear. Place the clam back in the tank. I do this a few times a week.  I know some people do not do this but I like to as it only takes a few minutes.   When acclimation I also like to put some DT's in the acclimation bowl to help with shipping stress, like an IV.  I have been doing this lately and seem to help.
