Flame scallops come from nutrient rich waters....I couldnt keep them alive.....but ive tried to keep my nutrients out of my water. depends on you water quality.

In my opinion flame scallops are nearly impossible to keep,they require direct feeding for sure,the trouble is noone seems to know what they eat.
At best some very good reefers have kept them for about a year before they starved to death it seems,id avoid them to be honest.
