Damn It?!?!

Today I was rearranging the rock in my tank and I found not 1 but 2 (I think they're called) flaming scallops. The red
"hairs" were still attached and the shells intact but nobody home.

What can I do in the future to help the critters survive the curing process?

Did they come in on your lr? Just constant water changes and water tests...

Why do they die? Is there not a way to feed them?
Are you adding the rock to an established tank? If not maybe I'll buy a smaller set of lights to use for curing additional rock that I add to my Tank.:thinking:

Flame scallops usually die in home aquariums anyway

I have a buddy that "loses stuff" left and right (hes not real good at following instructions) but his Flame Scallop is doing great and has been around for almost a year.

i think they require a constant supply of phytoplankton to thrive... most peoples tanks cannot supply them with the constant supply that the need.

Does he feed it? Or is he just lucky?
