Bivalves

is a bivalve (flame scallop), a bad choice for a reef tank? They use adductor muscles for propulsion. In my mind this is a natural jet ski with armor plating. My question is, can this crack glass, and are these good candidates for a reef?

I don't think They can , they just move and fine a place behind Your rock to hide.

germy as you saw from your search, not the greaest survival rate in our tanks

yep, thanks guys, im only purchasing researched specimens, and it only took one year to figure out that my sea apple, goniopora, mandarins, nudis, were bad unresearched choices.8-(

My LFS sold me a flame scallop for 5.00 and 30.00 of filter feeder food. It died in less than a week. I still have the food though!!! I no longer go to that LFS. The information here is much more reliable and I was lucky to find a couple of smaller LFS to spend my money at. I hope you are as lucky!!
