I found this little bugger on a piece of coral he looks like some sort of clam or something can someone tell me what this is? It opens and closes when I touch it...

Sorry about the picture it's just night time for the fishies lol...

It may possibly be a clam, but I cna't tell from that pic.

What else could it be if it wasn't? Just curious. I will take a more clearer pic tomorrow when I have the light on :)

My first thought would be a Thorny Oyster.

It doesn't have any thorns but that brown stuff is algae or something but he's got some sort of specky pattern and a bit of pink on it I'll have to have a closer look.

Probably just a barnacle.

"Specky pattern", like this?

That's a Thorny Oyster picture. It is actually in the scallop family.
