Just curious what is the life expectancy of a Flame Scallop. And is it true they release a toxin if they die. And also how often should a coral banded shrimp molt if he is healthy.

well the flame scallop can last for ????. problem is most cant keep alive very long at all.
needs LOTS of micro feeding. much more then most peoples tank can provide on its own so you must pic up the slack with consistant spot feedings. most starve and melt away within around 6 months or less.
