Electric Flashing Flame Scallops
Thanks for bringing in the flashing scallops for me. I'll try to get a little video of them tomorrow after they acclimate. So cool. You should have no problem selling that last one, I almost took it too today!

I have heard these are very tough animals to keep. Is this your first time trying?

Sorry - I've slacked on this. scallops are open and seem to be happy so we'll see how they go. every time I want to shoot a little video they've been turned so I can shoot the front.....

It's funny - they're not actually electric. Jeremy found a video that slows the flash down. The scallop actually has a fold inside that it rolls on the top and bottom that flashes the bright color. They just look electric.

Nothing directly. They're filter feeders so whatever's in the water column.

Very cool. Do you know how long they live in the wild? I was told that the Bay scallop that is harvested in the Appalachee Bay only live about 18 months in the wild.
