The flame scallop or rough fileclam, scientific name Ctenoides scaber, is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Limidae the file clams. Despite their common name, flame scallops are not closely related to true scallops.
This species is found in the Caribbean Sea. It is similar in appearance to the Indo-Pacific electric flame scallop (Ctenoides ales).
