Mollusk of some sort...ID Please!

Hey...I have what looks like a muscle of some sort in my tank. It is very, very small (like about 1/4" x 1/8"), but it is definately some sort of filter feeder. I can see a tube pop out of the shell sniffing for food. I know nothing about this...but it looks like a small muscle. Here is a photo...it is sitting on top of the rock right in the middle of the screen.

y thoughts?

In case you can't identify where it is, here it is with a mark...
