Looks Like a Clam...

Alright, first off this is in my uncle's tank, he has gone through an Aiptasia explosion and is now winning that battle. When I went over his house tonight he asked me if I knew what these things were and I really can't tell. They look like miniature cleaner clams, are about the size of an adult male's ring fingernail, and they react (close) when something gets near them. There are about ten attached (strong I might add) to various rocks in his 24Nanocube. Any insight would be great.

Thanks,
Adam

Nothing to worry about, they'll help filter the water on some level.

"Happy as a ...."

They're Bivalves., not 100% sure that they are actually clams, but that is a really good guess.
