It's cool looking... the ifirst pic doesn't look "clam-like", but the others certainly do. Is it mobile?

It should be noted it crawls like a snail and sticks to the side like one but i have not seen a snail that looks like this.

It's an Ark Clam (family Arcidae). But dude, on behalf of people like my parents, whose dialup connection I'm using to answer this: CROP YOUR PHOTOS, I spent 30 minutes downloading photos of glass and water spots.
Cheers, Don |

You can stop bumping as Don's answer is as good as you're going to get.
It's an ark clam and probably a juvenile - I was told by several mollusc experts that the fragile extensions visible at one end of the clam are usually found only in young animals. Juvenile & adult morphology can be quite different in some species. Most bivalves can move about and some can even swim.
