Snail? Or mullosk of some kind?

[LionsLife_]

Saw this bad boy on the glass the other night. Looked like a clam shell and didn't move like a snail, it would reach with its foot then slide, it didnt move like a snail at all. No idea what it is but the shell looks like a clam. what the heck is it?

Take it out of the water and see how it closes up, some bivalves move around with their tongue, but I've never seen one that uses it like a snail foot.

Does look like a bivalve...

I vote bivalve too. The only bivalve I'm privy to that's invasive are store bought live mussels(so I've heard), but I'm just some hobbyist - not a marine life expert . Generally Thumbs up to bivalves in my book. Score!

I've seen the local blue mussels move the same way.

"Bivalve" (which this is) is a very broad classification, which includes clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, ark shells, and a host of others!
