Looks like a little filter feeder clam. They come on live rock often. There are really small ones and some bigger ones are called Turkey Wings.
 
That's about the best pics I can get. It was on the clam when I got him about two years ago as a little spot and has kept growing. It. Don't seam to be bothering the other big clam so I'm just gonna leave it alone
