What do you feed this "record breaking" flame scallop?

Neat! Do you do anything to promote its longevity?

I bought it early in the hobby. I set up my tank last year in January and got it Feb... so I didn't know these little guys are better left in the wild, but since I had him, might as well see what i could do...
I keep him away from direct light. He was under a perfect perch in the front of the tank and my clarkii kept bugging him, so he squirted into mid tank. I can still see him though... I dose phyto, reef roids and Sponge Power from Zeo... My nitrate is slightly high @ around 25 ppm but other parameters are as recommended. I also use Marine Snow from Zeo but that probably has nothing to do with it...

Lots of newbies have success for the first while with difficult to keep big eater critters like starfish, scallops, goniporas, gorgonians, etc because newbies aren't so good at keeping the nutrients down in their tanks just yet. As the reef keeper gets better at this, the critter usually dies, but ALAS!! the rest of the tank looks great!
 Nice scallop though! Great coloring.
