Scallops share a two-part shell with a
hinge and foot, though they have no true head. All
are filter feeders, requiring food designed for these
types of invertebrates. This makes them somewhat more
demanding in the home aquarium than their cousins the
Tridacna clams. They require a sandy substrate or a
large rock formation to find comfortable spots to rest
and feed. Specialized foods and great water quality are
required to successfully maintain these organisms in the
home aquarium. |
