Description: The Electric Flame Scallop is a sub-species of the Flame Scallop. It has the same bright red mantle as the flame scallop, but it also has a strip of bio-luminescent tissue on its mantle that sends a flash of color back and forth over the mantle. This bio-luminescent tissue is bright enough to be seen at night and is what gives the scallop its name
Diet: Because flame scallops have no photosynthetic properties, the flame scallops eat only phytoplankton filtered from the ocean water. During the consumption process, flame scallops sift and sort through the phytoplankton with their gills to determine what is appropriate for ingestion. In an aquarium flame scallops require excellent water quality and either frequent water changes for fresh food or the addition of an invertebrate food containing phytoplankton
Reef Compatability: Excellent in a fully seasoned reef aquarium
