ok, I got an Electric Flame Scallop and Im unsure how exactly to feed it. and what..

It is a filter feeder, and requires floating micro-plankton to be kept alive in the aquarium
How do i get floating mirco-plakton? more info on this please?

I have the liquid food that I use for my feather duster (Coralife). Is that ok for the flame scallop, or should i find the Marine Snow or Seclon that a site speaks of? Would using frozen brine shrimp work too? Anything else?

They said to feed through a specialize straw. I have an injector that came with the frozen food, would that work well? and if frozen shrimp is good, should I feed the scallop that way with the injector?

and how often do I feed them?

And when should I expect to see the 'electric' in its mouth? I saw it happen once in the shop, but not here yet
 
right, krill and other frozen foods will be too large for it to eat. Cyclopeze might be ok (or at least its residue left in the water will). By far the best thing to feed is Live phytoplankton. Not all fish shops keep it but if you ask its readily available.
Marine snos and the stuff you currently use is ok but be careful not to overfeed with these as they are "Dead" foods and will rot if not eaten. Livepyto is living so its hard to actually overfeed the tank.
 
thanks :D so feeding it with the injector I have is good?
I'll ask for the phytoplankton (gotta write it down cuz I can barely prounouce it, lol)

I just discovered the inverts forum thread (my bad for not really looking around the site..) so I'll be asking more invert related questions there for now on, seeing Im posting on the wrong thread :D
