Little Clams in Chaeto

[ThePurple12]

So I bought a clump of Chaeto from my LFS and as I was inspecting it I saw some little clams in it. Here's a pic:

Can you guys give me some info on them?

Can you place it on a white background and take a clear picture? I'm interested. Clams generally live in the sediment. Mussels and scallops will live on algae

I'm at school right now I will when I get home.

Okay here's the pics. The clam or whatever it was was attached to the strand of chaeto.

Sorry that they're blurry, it was the best I could do...

Anyone???

Mussel. I can't say what kind but I know it ain't blue mussel. Large ones (2+ in) tend to die on me but every few months I find a new brachidontes (sp?) Mussel the size of your photo.

Prolly mussels.
