I think it's a clam? If so should I remove from my tank or remove from coral and keep in the tank?

Do you have a pic from another angle? I recall seeing someone a few weeks afo posting something similar that was identified as some sort of bivalve. #reefsquad

Yeah, it does look like a bivalve. They are not dangerous, but you can choose if you want to keep or remove them.

"Bivalve" is the term used to describe any type of mollusk that has two hinged shells. So clams, oysters, scallops, and other similar organisms.

Also, not all bivalves are photosynthetic. What you have solely relies on small particulate food like phytoplankton to survive and filter feeding through the water column.
