Just a heads up. bought 2 scallops less than a mont ago and 1 has already died. If I were you I wouldnt buy one. They are very hard to keep. I wish I hadnt bought mine because I am just watching the second one I bought waste away. I even bought that 30 dollar liquid life food for them.

Scallops that are traded in the Mo indusrty don't live long anyways (well, except cat paws and spiney). We get them at a fairly old age. I belive they only live for a year or two in the wild.
