Put it back in the water and it immediately opened up.

It looks like a small clam to me. I don't think they are harmful. that small I imagine it is a filter feeder?

I figured it was harmless,I just wanted to validate that.

Harmless filter feeder

this hunk of zoa's I bought is ABSOLUTELY teeming with life..on top of all the filter feeders I found these 2 guys hanging out..If you look in a previous post of mine I ask about the random legs I saw..well I determined they were 2 brittlestars...

a green one and a red one.. Makes me nervous with the green one since I've read that they can be predatory..but i'll keep an eye on it.
I did have a minor accident moving them and the red one got sucked into my powerhead.. the disc is still intact but a couple legs were cleaved in half.
