Pest ID help

Hey Everyone. Just finished cycling my 2nd tank, a Red Sea 525XL, and got some "clean" chaeto from Algae Barn for my fuge. Its been in there for a little over 2 weeks and I just started noticing what looks like mini clams/mussels in my fuge. Attached is a photo, but they are hard to see as they are so small, maybe 2 or 3 millimeters at the most. They look like they have a shell and are partially open. Nothing else in the sump other than some marine pure and equipment. Let me know if anyone has an idea on what they are and if I need to remove them. Thanks

Maybe Coquina Clams?..in any event not really a pest, I have a few of those also, had them for years, never an issue.
