Oyster, muscle, or clam? what the heck is it!?

Hey ladies and gents,

So I've been watching this little fella grow in my tank for quite some time now, he's easy about double the size since first seen. I cannot for the life of me find any information online identifying this thing and I was hoping someone here could shed some light. It has a slightly translucent, pink fleshy mantle and hair all over it. See pictures below

One of those came off my Lobo as well. I would love to know what it is. Following...

Looks like a hitchhiker mussel/bivalve. Non photosynthetic so feeding small particle foods is necessary.

Thanks mate! I reckon you're right on the money with that, I'll be sure to feed him when I feed my corals (reef roids).

Your welcome. Live phytoplankton might be good as well.
