Reef Filter Flame Scallop

Reef Filter Flame Scallop (Lima scabra/Ctenoides ales)

Flame scallops are exceptional reef inhabitants prized for their remarkable filter-feeding abilities. These active mollusks efficiently process water column nutrients, making them valuable additions to established aquariums. Their constant movement and feeding behavior create dynamic visual interest while supporting water quality. Lima scabra specimens are particularly stunning, displaying vibrant red mantles and tentacles that create a striking focal point in any reef setup. Their coloration and active nature make them captivating to observe and are known to be extra hardy in captivity. Ctenoides ales, another variant you may receive, is famous for its extraordinary electric pulse—a brilliant bioluminescent flash that travels across the mantle, creating an otherworldly light show that's truly mesmerizing.
