Sea Scallops
Scallops share a two-part shell with a hinge and foot, though they have no true head. All are filter feeders, requiring food designed for these types of invertebrates. If they are threatened, they can escape using water propulsion by clapping their valves together.

Bright Red Flame Scallop

The Red Flame Scallop has a bright red mantel with red or white tentacles. It builds a small nest of small rocks and pieces of coral in which it embeds itself. When threatened, it can escape by clapping its valves together, propelling it through the water. It tolerates all animals that do not try to eat it, and can be kept in groups. It is a filter feeder, and requires floating micro - plankton to be kept alive in the aquarium, and requires supplementation with phytoplankton. It also needs proper calcium levels and alkalinity. It does not tolerate nitrates or copper-based medications. Approximate Purchase Size: 11/2" to 2-1/2" 

$7.99 each - 2 for $15.00 

Electric Flame Scallop
The Electric Flame Scallop has a bright red mantel with red tentacles. The mantel of this species seems to create electricity which can be seen shooting across the mantel like lightning bolts. These surges of electricity are bright enough to be seen in the aquarium when the lights are off. It builds a small nest of small rocks and pieces of coral in which it embeds itself. When threatened, it can escape by clapping its valves together, propelling it through the water. It tolerates all animals that do not try to eat it, and can be kept in groups. Being a filter feeder, it requires frequent water changes or a source of food being added to the water, such as live or frozen baby brine shrimp, Marine Snow, PhytoPlancton or any other suitable micro foods.Electric Flame Scallops also benefit from the addition of the normal reef trace elements and the addtion of iodine, calcium, and strontium on occasion.

Thorny Oyster

The Thorny Oyster is large and colorful. The shell is shaped much like a scallop's shell, but the Thorny Oyster remains securely attached to the substrate on the aquarium floor, and does not wander. A reef safe invertebrate, the shell has many ridges and spines giving the Thorny Oyster an unusual, unique appearance. The Thorny Oyster is very sensitive to water quality and changes in the aquariums salinity (specific gravityu). It is a filter feeder, and requires floating micro - plankton to be kept alive in the aquarium, and requires supplementation with phytoplankton. It also needs proper calcium levels and alkalinity. It does not tolerate nitrates or copper-based medications. Approximate Purchase Size: 4" to 6"
