Electric Flame Scallop

[brianrish]

Does anyone know anything about electric flame scallops? The sound really neat, but I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with them.
Now I'm not talking about regular flame scallops, but the ones that look like they have electricity flowing through them...even in the dark!

They are filter feeders and usually don't last long in captivity

They are all close relatives and all have very poor long term survival rates in captivity. Their diet is extremely specific, and generally is not met in captivity (nor can it be added in a bottle). Not only that, but they have an annoying tendancy to not stay where you want them. They can and will move into generally darker areas, often between or behind rocks.
