I got this rick free from my lfs. It has a few types of zoa, Kenya tree, at least 10+ feather dusters, some little muscles and this other thing I can’t ID. I’ve reverse Google searched it and asked in other groups. It has what looks like a tiny something inside it. It will retract when I shine a flashlight on it but the outer layer doesn’t move.
Attaching pictures below.
Thanks!!

Bivalves are not long lived. They are relayed to scallop family and are filter feeders. No special requirements

I'm just guessing but it looks like some kind of clam to me
That’s what I was thinking but couldn’t get a definitive answer so I didn’t want to throw it in my tank and find out a month from how it’s invasive or something

Should just act as a harmless filter feeder. They often don't survive very long in most people's tanks. Unless of course you dose phyto.
I don’t. I dose AB+ but nothing else as far as foods for corals and filter feeders.
thanks for the help!!
