Electric Flame Scallops

The Electric Flame Scallop is a filter feeder, meaning it relies on capturing fine particulate matter from the water column. In its natural environment, it feeds on phytoplankton and other microscopic organisms, which need to be provided in a home aquarium to sustain it. Its diet can be supplemented with specialized liquid foods, like marine snow and plankton-based feeds. 

Known for its vibrant red mantle and the striking blue “electric” streaks that it generates using bioluminescence.
