flame scallop dead?

[tomato]

I received a cleanup crew from swf.com and the results have been great already. However, on Sunday the scallop's red feathery ******** shriveled up and today it is flaking off. Is it dead or shedding or something I haven't thought of? Also, I don't know what to feed it. My books haven't helped any. Thanks for any assistance.

I would say it is probaly dead, I have never heard of them shedding, pick it up if you can, if it is alive it should close, or you can smell it, if it smells bad then it is dead. Scallops filter the water for food. You don't need to add anything special for them. Hope this helps, Later Lisa

Thanks for the help, it was definately dead. I'm still recovering from the smell. My clown was feasting on him.
