Has anyone ever had a red Flame Scallop in your tank? what is there to taking care of it? There are a few for sale at my Local Fish Store. Always looking for a interesting animal to add to the tank.

Thanks Chris

    They are pretty neat to watch. I had one in a tank one time a few years back. They hop around to find a place they like, awesome to watch. I did not feed it anything special, I believe they are filter feeders if I can remember right.

    Thanks for the input. I did some reading on them last night they are filter feeders. Going today to get one for $9 can't go wrong.

    You will enjoy it! It will also put a burst of color in your tank. ;-)

    They are beautiful creatures, but they usually don't live long in our systems. There's an electric version which is even nicer to observe, but they only pulse that blue jolt across their 'lips' (the leading edge of their tissue) during the lighting period. If they could do that at night, it would be way more fun to observe, but it would also attract predators that could do them harm.
