    yes there's only one.

    its a commensal shrimp in the family Palaemonidae, and i think this one is in the Genus Anchistus, probable Anchistus Miersi.

    heres another photo so you can see the shrimp better

    these shrimp live inside the clam and dont seem to contribute to the clam so there not considered symbiont's.

    if anyone interested heres a link on commensal shrimp
