Cool, I love these little guys. It's a obligate commensal pontonin shrimp, possibly Paranchistus armatus. They live inside Tridacna for the most part and will die if removed from the shrimp.
 
:D.. Thanks Leslie!!

It was never with my clam before these pic. It disappeared after I took some pics.
 
They live inside the siphons or mantle of the clam and rarely come out so it's not surprising you haven't seen it before.
