Do you know what proportion of Reefchili is phytoplankton? From what I understand, the phyto is the only element in Reefchili that Tridacnid clams are likely to utilize, so I would like to share my concern that in a 125-gallon tank, there may not be a high enough concentration of phyto available to these young clams.
While their mantles (especially for the two smallest) are so tiny, they will have little surface area available for photosynthesis, so they are relying much more heavily on direct feeding at this size than they will once they've grown past 3".
