I am thinking about purchasing an electric flame scallop for my 55 reef, any comments or sugestions on keeping these things? or anything i should be watching for?

thanx tom
 
Tom,

Just to back up Sean. I've tried twice over the years to keep a flame scallop. I think the best I managed to keep one is about 6 months and that was in an inverts only tank which was supplemented with phyto. It is a creature that no one seems to have a handle on as far as captive care.
 
I kept an electric flame scallop in my 55, and it didn't live for more than 6 months either. If you decide to get one, good luck with it and let us know how it goes.
 
14 months and counting

IME the electrics are easier then the regular flames..........but either can be kept with proper care

I feed my tank daily with ESV Spray Dried Phytoplankton. I keep clams and scallops among other things but once a week I take a "pipette" and directly feed the scallops. I just sneak up beside them and gently let the phyto flow into their open tentacles, they are doing great, and growing.

YMMV
