Do to a mix up on a fish order I received a flame scallop a few weeks back. That being said all of his feelers around his mouth have never reall been red. But actually quite white. He has moved around my tank and settled for days at a time and appears to be fine other than his feelers (Sorry I don't know the correct name).

Should I be worried? Amm and trites are 0 trates were really low last time I looked but don't recall the numer and my ph is 7.4 I do regular weekly water changes and everything else invert or not is fine. Thoughts?
 
I've seen flame scallops with both red and white feelers, are you sure its not an electric eye scallop?
 
Honestly I do not know for sure. I ordered some fish online and this came with the order by accident. When I talked to them they basically said "Your welcome do to do what you wish with it" as it was not worth shipping hassle. They said it was a flame scallop so based on that info that is why I thought it was. I can say that from the time I got him till now they feelers have always been white. If they come that way too then I won't worry too much. I just didn't want him dying a slow death do to my ingornance.
 
If it's a flame, I haven't heard man good things about keeping them successfully. They only live a short while and die unexpectedly.
