Target feeding is a hit and miss, it depends on the size and verity of clam you are feeding, and what you are feeding it. Under 3†it is generally considered a good idea to (target) feed, after that most clams rely on there zooanthellae for food energy. In addition, clams cannot consume foods over 50 microns and most are carnivores not herbivores. If you use the correct foods in a higher concentration, you will not need to (target) feed. PM myself or Deuce67 about a food I turned him onto, he is very impressed.

Hey krafty, I just got that new book about clams, and they say that they can get, and in most cases get too much of, what they need just from light, and they also say that direct feeding is more stressful then useful.
If you do feed them, just put it in the water and let it works it's way to the clam naturally so that it does not close up from the focus feeding some might do. If you want to read that book sometime let me know. You will learn more about clams then you ever want to.
