Hermits can smell the beginnings of death.
It could also be too many hungry hermits in the tank. I keep less than half as many hermits as snails.
Unfortunately, death comes too easy for Flame scallops in our aquariums.
Sorry for your loss.Cry

oh no!! I'm sorry I dunno why they would do that, my crab have never even bothered it, not even my emerald crab.  My scallop decided not to grace me with his presence anymore and went to the back under a rock Unhappy]]> Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:56:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37141&PID=329651&title=electric-flame-scallop#329651 <![CDATA[Electric flame scallop : Sorry about your scallop.

Sorry about your scallop. Those are really cool. Any idea why the crabs suddenly wanted shellfish?]]> Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:40:19 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37141&PID=329506&title=electric-flame-scallop#329506 <![CDATA[Electric flame scallop : Today terrible tragedy happened...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37141&PID=329502&title=electric-flame-scallop#329502 Author: Flashlin

Thanks Mark. I am actually also growing phyto. Not in this quantities of course Wacko. I have a 2 liter soda bottle. So i can feed like 100-200ml every day. Is that enough for 75g tank? (Probably not...)

Almost all of these non-photosynthetic bivalves need a lot of crud to eat. They live in dirtier conditions. Give them as much phytoplankton as you can buy or grow and be sure to stir
the sand often to feed them detritus and bacteria. It's not that necessary to target feed, just dump in a gallon of phyto and watch the tank eat it up and the water clear in a few hours.
 
It's easy to grow Phyto in a big pretzel/corn puff plastic jar.Smile 
This one grew in the window.
 
Here I grew phyto in a tub. Looks like ~10 gallons had just been removed. I did this weekly.

I've had mine for a month, I spot feed a little phyto about 2 times a week, I dunno if its too much but he's fine, I had to turn a rock around to make him visible, but the day after my anemone kicked him out of his hole and now he hides at the bottom where its difficult to spot feed
he's definately cool I like em Big smile]]> Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:41:26 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37141&PID=329058&title=electric-flame-scallop#329058 <![CDATA[Electric flame scallop : I heard that they can be fed with...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37141&PID=329041&title=electric-flame-scallop#329041 Author: Flashlin

I heard that they can be fed with cyclopeeze or something like this. But i didn't try direct feeding yet. How often should add phyto to my tank?

They are beautiful. Do you know how to care for it?
I let the Alk get a little low for a few weeks and at the same time I neglected feeding phyto, which caused this beautiful Spiney Oyster to pass away. Cry
