Description

Red Lima Scallop (Lima orientalis)
Overview

The Red Lima Scallop is a visually striking bivalve with bright red, fan-shaped shells and delicate, fringed mantle edges. Known for its slow, graceful movement across rocks or sand, it adds color, texture, and interest to reef and marine aquariums.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, Lima orientalis inhabits coral reefs, rocky substrates, and sandy lagoon areas, often partially buried or attached to hard surfaces.

Feeding

A filter feeder that requires suspended plankton, phytoplankton, and other fine particulate foods. Regular feeding is necessary to maintain health and vibrant coloration.

Tank Mates

Completely reef-safe and peaceful. Compatible with non-aggressive fish, invertebrates, and other sessile animals. Avoid predatory fish or crabs that may harm or disturb the scallop.

Aggression

Peaceful. Does not compete with corals or other invertebrates for space.

Experience Level

Recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists due to specialized feeding requirements and sensitivity to water quality. Requires stable, mature tanks with moderate water flow.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 74°F – 80°F (23°C – 27°C)
  • Salinity: 1.024 – 1.026 SG
  • pH: 8.1 – 8.4

Colorful, delicate, and fascinating to observe, the Red Lima Scallop (Lima orientalis) is an elegant addition to well-established marine aquariums, offering both beauty and natural filtration.
