    Was it opened right before you touched it? Did it close when you touched it? If so, thats a clam.

    it was sort of attached to the back of the zoas rock so if it closed i didnt see.. i kinda just pulled it off because i thought it was a loose piece of rock. ( had to pull somewhat)

    it does kinda look like a clam because it has the little line where it could open. ( but im not sure if its dead)

    I think its a clam and if you put it back in your tank, it will live.
