ID on clam?

This came on the LR I have in my tank, they were so small I didn't notice them but I have 3+ of them scattered and don't know what they are. They are alive because they are growing and are opening and closing.

I think those are called leaf oysters or something like that. They're small oysters, harmless, and they may eventually starve to death in a small tank. If they're noticeably growing, then they're probably gonna be fine.

Right on thank you for the help. I have a few and heard clams will starve in a small system like mine but they are thriving so I'm gonna keep them. Thank you shesachamer I picked it up about a week ago with two heads and now have 7 little heads starting on the bottom already.
