π₯ FLAME SCALLOPS π₯
π Filter Feeders - Rather than eating chunks of food, they filter tiny particles from the water column β including phytoplankton, zooplankton, bacteria and other microscopic foods.
π§ Why flow matters
Good water movement keeps food suspended and brings it within reach of the scallop. Aim for gentle-to-moderate, turbulent flow rather than a strong jet directly at the animal.
π½οΈ Target feeding can help. Ia reef aquarium, supplemental feeding with quality planktonic foods can help provide the nutrition they need.
