What is this???

[jjgl]

I have had my tank set up for about 2 months now. Tonight as I was watching out of no where this thing came out of my live rock. I had noticed this odd piece of rock before but never thought anything of it. This thing is alive, it comes outward and opens up on the inside area where it is attached to the rock. Anyone have any idea what it is???

OK how about a guess then. Someone must have an idea? This thing made its first move when one of my snails was moving over it. Kind of like it was trying to eat it.

It's a Turkey Wing Clam. Strictly a filter feeder of Phytoplankton.
