So i cant seem to find anything about tbem for a reef, the lfs has some for sale does any one know what conditions they like? I know they are filter feeders but what do they filter nitrate, phos?

Mussels filter out phytoplankton. There may be some others like clams that eat nitrate, Maybe someone else will chime in

mussels being one of above. just to keep it fed you need to constant-drip phyto into tank until tank water takes on greenish tint. tried this once grew my own phyto to feed all my nonphotos until pain in butt became too much to bear.
