I too have a electric flame scallop but the first night I got him he scrawled behind a rock n attached himself to it at the back of my tank. I have no way of feeding him but he's still alive. I can see his whiskers. Dunno what he's eating but he's eating something. It's been atleast 6months

The common mistake I have found in my research of scallops is because they like to hide in rocks and crevices and people want to see their scallop they take it from its hiding spot and put it in the open to better see it in action. This quite often stresses the scallop and will often lead to its early death in their relatively short life span.

Mine is deep in the rocks and seems happy enough if that is where it wants to be do be it as long as it stays fed I'm happy with where it is as I can still see it and as a bonus my pistol shrimp has taken a liking to the scallop and hangs around it a lot now
