What is the best food to feed a flame scallop? My friend took down his tank and gave me his. I forgot to ask him
and I can't contact him right now.
Thanks!

Flame Scallop
- Thread starter Ice001520
- Start date
The flame scallop is a non-photosynthetic omnivore and requires a diet with phytoplankton, and organic foods (Marine Snow or Selcon). Feeding is accomplished by using a small pipette/straw to dispense the food upstream of its location. Each Red Flame Scallop needs to be fed individually.

It'll do fine for now and for the long haul since it contains animal and plant proteins along with omega-3 and other vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Check out the ingredients label:
CORAL FRENZY CONTAINS:
Oyster Larvae, Salmon Roe, Fish Protein, Rotifers, Copepods, Daphnia, Dunaliella salina, Haematococcus Pluvialis, Spirulina, & Schizochytrium. It is rich in amino acids, proteins, carotenoids, HUFA, PUFA, & Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids.
Sorry to say, I thought it would last a while in my non-photosynthetic tank, only lasted three months, they are just way to hard to care for, only because we are not sure of what they eat in the wild, or if they even do eat what we can provide for them.
That's pretty encouraging news...but my friend has had his for 5 1/2 months and i've had it for about a week so i'm assuming it's a hardy little scallop.
