I made this new ecosphere abt 3 days ago, and I just spotted this thing. It looks like some sort of freshwater mussel/clam is it? It has these 2 clear things coming out of it, and when I tap the container it closes.
Yes, a mussel in Sphaeriidae! I’ve not had them survive long in captivity, but I’ve been meaning to try again in a more mature tank. I think they are very sensitive to water parameters fluctuations and lack of suitable food in newer ones.

Maybe a clamshrimp? Dies it swim?
I’d go with pea clam but not sure.
Also, you need more airspace in that jar.
