Baby clam?????

[ohio reefer]

So Im at my tank right now and was moving some rock when I noticed somthing closed when I touched the rock. I thought it was a snail and pulled it off the rock, it's defiantly a clam. I have a deresa in this tank and no inter clams. Is this a baby deresa?

Nice find! I don't think it's a Tridacnid type of clam though, not sure on the ID.

I have one similar on my gold wall hammer. Not sure on the id but they are cool looking. Mine only opens at night so I think its some type of scallop maybe

I have quite a few clams in my tanks and some oysters, too. Did you use live sand? I had hundreds of baby clams from live sand once. At first they float around on top of the water and when they get about 3/16" they sink. At first I said, "How did Styrofoam get in my tank.
