There are alot of clams and mussels that come in on live rock. Usually they are nothing special. Great find though, it's probably a great filter feeder.

is it a Tridacnid or Hipopus (Sorry spelled that wrong) clam? If so, thats a GREAT fine. If its not, its not uncommon at all. Ive discovered about 4 mollucks on my rock so far.
