Thoughts and info on electric scallop

Im getting one tomorrow and just wanted some opinions on them

They have pretty poor survival rates in captivity, and they have a way of getting behind your live rock so you rarely see them.

i dont recomend it they go behind your live rock and all they do is dirty the sand bed alot when they spit out their junk

Make sure you spot feed it with plenty of phytoplankton.

i never feed mine and it would poop 24/7 but mine didnt hide in the back he stayed right under my anemone

Take lots of pictures in the first 3-6 months, you won't be able to after that unless you buy a new one.

I had one for over a year, and never even knew I had it!
I saw him once right before I gave it away!
He was a hitch-hiker, and I didn't add any new rock for at least a year!
Never spot fed, never added DT's or phyto.
His tenticles were long flowing and pretty and I didn't do anything with him.
