Clam/scallop id.

So I just got a huge chunk of zoas from my lfs and I noticed a shell on the chunk. I ignored it because I assumed the creature inside was dead. But while looking at it today I noticed it close very quickly so it is indeed alive. Any ideas what it is?

It is related to a scallop and is common with corals hand caught and known as Bi-valve and are filter feeders and not long lived

So not really worth peeling the zoas off to save it?
