I would buy some live clams, open them up and throw the shell and clam meat into the tank. They will usually land right side up and the butterflies should go crazy for this food.The left over clams i would freeze and when its time to feed, slip a sharp knife into between the frozen shell and cut straight through. it will open the clam and cut the meat into two for feeding.
