Hello everyone, I found a creature on live rock that I’ve never seen before. Could you help me identify it?
Its characteristics are: a red shell with spiky edges (similar to a crab shell), it extends tentacle-like appendages like a tube worm to catch food, and it also seems to have mollusk-like tentacles.
(My English is not very good. I used a translator for the above. Please correct me if there are any mistakes.)

Also, this is not a new rock; it has been in the aquarium for about five years.It grows in the shadows, so it’s hard to take a clear picture.
This is my aquarium.

I think I may have found which species it belongs to,“Spondylus”
But it’s still a little baby, so it’s difficult to determine its exact name.
Anyway, it’s still an answer, so that’s progress!
