New here any advice?

Any idea if this is a clam or oyster? Any special care for that?

I can't tell from the pic, is it alive and not just a shell?

You are referring to the bivalves on the same piece as the zoanthids? They filterfeed from the water column. You can feed a little bit of phytoplankton if there is not already enough natural food for it to consume.

I cannot tell what species it is. Does not look like an oyster.
Bivalve is a all encompassing term for a wide variety of creatures of which clams and oysters are some (as are scallops and mussels).

*Welcome to Reef2Reef @Keith607 !* Whatever type of bivalve it is,it will stay small.I am guessing a scallop,Cool little critters to have.
