Flame Scallops

[Orion]

I have seen at the LFS a few fire engine red Flame Scallops. I do think they look very nice and the color is awesome. What do you guys know about them? how easy is to take care of them? Are they reef safe? please give me your input.
Thanks

Needs lots of phyto and are short lived anyways. What we get is near death at that size. One aniaml we don't need to harvest even though the collection is sustainable. No cut flowers in the trade please!!!!
