Sorry this may be a noob question but all of you are so awesome to take a few minutes of your busy lives to help us newbies!!!

 

This cake along with a piece of live rock, hasn't moved but sort of wiggles if I gently prod when blowing off rocks. Sort of bristly as well.

 

Thanks for taking a look!!

It should open up a little to let water flow in if still living. If you watch it for a few minutes and it doesn't open, it most likely is not living.

Yes. I've had empty bivalves and live ones completely stuck on to rock.

 

I once baught a rock full of ricordia. Then one day it started moving. Half the rock was a bivalve.

That does look pretty scallopy! :P If you do see it with a slight gap for filter feeding, try poking its shell with something or moving the water around it. A healthy one will immediately clamp shut if it notices a disturbance in the force.
