electric flame scallop

[milkshake]

Anyone have any viable info on these scallops? I purchased one
a few days ago. When I first put it in the tank it jumped around alot and had electric sparks running through it. Does anyone know what the needs are for these type. I am feeding it PhytoPlan every couple of days.

i dont know much about them but what i do know is that they dont live long and need a ton of food

and even if you provide a ton of food, they dont always eat it.
google "Rob Toonen Flame Scallops" and clikc on the first link. Youll get an amazing article

We had one for 2 years in our 65 gallon reef.It worked it's way to the back of the reef directly under the skimmer.It did great until I upgraded to a 125,I guess the new tank wasn't stable enough for it.When in the old tank I fed Marine Snow 2 to 3 times a week.
