IMO,as long as you supply live phytoplankton to him as foods, it think 50% it will survive inside ur tank....

Hi,

Maybe you can provide a pic and we can assess the situation.

I know that they secrete some sticky thread to anchor themselves to the rocks...

I manage to gently yank my scallop up and reposition them...I suggest that you position it on the sandbed with some small rocks around it...so they feel more 'secure' from other predators..

I'm not sure if it caused the Itch..will monitor my situtation as well....
