I have no idea what this is... ideas? Its mouth does open and then snaps shut when food filters in.

Funnily enough, I just found a new clam in our tank last night that looks a lot like this one. I don't think I can get a pic of it where it is, though, I just happened to see it by accident after over a year of this rock in the tank. It must've moved from further in the rock.

I have some unidentified bivalves as well. They sort of look like yours. Are they really thin and kidney shaped? I've been looking for so clues as to what it is.
