Are you sure its a photosynthetic clam? There are tons of bivalves and often the hitchhikers are other things

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

Probably a non-photosynthetic clam. Most are filter feeders. I have known folks to have them for years w/o doing anythin and others that go out of their way just to have it die. The ocean is just to diverse it's hard to say exactly what it is
