The Red Flame Scallop will add a unique combination of shape and color to your aquarium. They usually builds a small nest of small rocks and pieces of coral in which it embeds itself so ensure these materials are available. It can be kept in groups. It is a filter feeder, and requires floating micro-plankton to be kept alive in the aquarium, and will do best in a mature reef aquarium system. It also needs proper calcium levels and alkalinity.

The flame scallop is non-photosynthetic and requires supplementation with phytoplankton, and organic foods provided by using a small pipette/straw to dispense the food upstream of its location. Each Red Flame Scallop needs to be fed individually.
