What is the flame?
Flamented shells, also known as Rough FileClam, are red-colored molluscs, which is originally from the Caribbean Sea. This creature belongs to the Limidae family with the scientific name Lima Scabra. Despite the name, this is not related to mussels, with the exception of appearance; The distant relatives of this sea animal include heads such as octopus and gastropods such as snails. This creature breathes and filters phytoplankton through gills. Flame shells are notoriously difficult to maintain captivity.
The outer flame shell is rough and red in red and has white and red tentacles around the mouth. The red color of these molluscs is caused by their high number of carotenoids. The subspecies Lima Scabra is known as an electric flame scallop or the flashing comb of the flame. It is a bioluminescent variety that has around the lips, which is expected to attract plankton.
Flame Mubralps can grow up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) when it is fully mature. These creatures are naturally hermaphroditic and later inLife tends to be male in less maturity and woman. Samples, which are more than 2 inches (5.08 cm), are most likely women and more than two years. For the best result when buying a mussel flame for home pleasure, it is recommended to buy one that is not much larger than 1 inch (2.5 cm), so it will probably live longer in captivity. Their natural lifetime is three to four years, but many people are experiencing a decline in purchased flames up to six to 12 months because of their complicated care needs.
6 Water cannot contain nitrates or copper that are poisonous for this sea animal and should have a high level of calcium. The water temperature should be maintained in the range of 72-78 degrees Fahrenheit (22,2-25,56 degrees Celsius). The habitat should not contain any aggressive fish or sea stars that are likely to be prey on the scallop of the flame. Flame Owners should avoid manual movement of creation to increase visibility in the tank, for the preference of thisOto the creature for hiding in the slits to prevent the prey from being captured.plankton provided as a meal for seashell shells must be a suitable particle size to spend creatures. Fytoplankton or zooplankton mixture below 1.57 inches (200 mm) can be fed at least daily. If you want to feed the flame shells adequately, load the pipette with plankton, and then let the food gently drift into the water near an individual creature.
