Hi! Most Bilvalves are "Filter Feeders", using their gills to capture particulate food, it's actually a complex process that includes the gills, mouth, and stomach.

Side Note: Many feed on phytoplankton (In case you needed an organism that they feed on)

Bivalves obtain food by filtering in food particles from the water using their gills. They have gills inside their bodies. Bivalves obtain food by filtering in food particles from the water using their gills. They have gills inside their bodies.
