Hey! I was sucking up some dried up dead star mat off a rock (they died a few months ago due to heater malfunction, thought they would come back, but arent)

So Im sucking off the matt with a turkey baster, and I found somthing under it! I almost think its hatching, but I cant tell

My pictures arent very good. It looks like an opaque soft (and def. hollow) clam/oyster .. or a sack of somesort

It keeps opening a little and then snaps shut. (i have hard shelled creatures like this.. always called it a clam, but i donno)

When it opens i can see somthing inside

the only thing i ever saaw living on this rock is bristle worms
