Lima scabra – Flame Scallop for Reef Aquarium
Lima scabra, also known as the flame scallop, is a bivalve mollusk with a particularly decorative bright red mantle. Native to shallow reef areas, it is appreciated for its ability to naturally filter the water in reef aquariums.
Effective Filtration and Unique Behavior
This bivalve uses the water current passing between its two rough valves to capture suspended particles, microalgae, and phytoplankton. In some geographic areas, it even emits a bioluminescent light to attract micro prey. It is a passive and visually stunning catcher.
Installation in the Aquarium
Lima scabra thrives in calm and shaded areas of the aquarium, between live rocks or on a gravel substrate. Very fine sand is not recommended. It is compatible with hermit crabs and peaceful invertebrates.
Maintenance Conditions
- Recommended minimum volume: 200 liters
- Temperature: 23°C to 27°C
- pH: 8.0 to 8.4
- Decor: calm areas with rocks or gravel, avoid fine sand
- Behavior: stationary, filtering, reef-compatible
Feeding
- Live or concentrated phytoplankton
- Suspended organic particles
- Supplements for filter feeders if the aquarium is young
Lima scabra primarily feeds on phytoplankton. In mature tanks rich in microfauna, it will find a good portion of its food naturally. Regular supplements may be necessary depending on the population and water flow.
Why Choose Lima scabra?
- Very decorative bright red mantle
- Natural water filtration capability
- Fascinating passive trapping behavior
- Compatible with invertebrates and peaceful fish
- Ideal for well-established reef aquariums
Lima scabra is a decorative, filtering, and useful bivalve that will bring both balance and originality to your reef aquarium. Installed in a stable tank, it will actively contribute to the water clarity while offering a discreet but captivating display.

Magnifique
Tout simplement magnifique une belle pièce, je m'attendais à un tout petit coquillage, il est vraiment de belle taille, couleur magnifique Il n'a pas apprécié l'endroit où je l'avais mis, un petit jet d'eau plus tard il s'est installé entre deux pierres vivantes Je le conseille fortement même si je n'ai pas pu encore observer les éclairs bleus. Et coté transport et acclimatation parfois même en hivers, réception en super état
