Help With Id Please

I was looking through my tank the other day and noticed I must a picked up a hitchiker that might be clam or something. I put it in the refugium until I have an ID for sure. I think it is some type of clam or possibly a mussel. Shortly after placing it in the refuge it drug itself around in a circle and then flipped over. It opens up just a bit for hours at a time and there is a little tenticle or someting that pokes out and waves around.

Any ideas? I have searched for a couple of days now.

It does look like some sort of clam or mussel and I'd leave it in the fuge to help filter your water!

yup yup

Do I need to feed it anything special?

No not really. If it has survived as a hitchhiker it should be pretty hardy. As they are filter feeder an occassional dosing of phytoplankton or marine snow should be adequate but I do not believe it will be necessary!
