Genus
Common name: Flame scallops
Scientific name: Limaria
Limaria, commonly known as flame scallops or file clams, are a genus of bivalve mollusks notable for their vibrant mantle edges that resemble flickering flames. These clams are filter feeders and require a steady supply of fine particulate food in the aquarium. They often host small symbiotic crustaceans and can be sensitive to changes in water quality. Hobbyists should ensure a mature tank with stable conditions and consider target feeding to maintain their health.
