flame scallops

ygrowup · Jul 1, 2003

has anyone had any success with flame scallops. I got 1 to last a whole 36 hrs. Drip acclimated,and I have perfect water parameters in a very healthy reef tank. Are they just touchy and need to be acclimated real slow or maybe my lights were to much (800wts pc)
Just curious because I would like to try again with one

what other fish in the tank did you have with it, to last 36 hours it might had been picked on.

once the scallop started withering a blue headded wrass and the hermit crabs finished him off and had lunch but I saw no provoking until the scallop looked not happy

I have kept ome alive for 6 months and counting. I bought 2 others and one died in a week and the other after just 3 months. I dont believe that most of us have enough nutrients in our tanks for them to feed off of long term.

I was able to keep one for around five months by feeding it DT's Phytoplankton.
