Looks like a Gafrarium. Close to Gafrarium menkei.

I think this is a Venus-species: Gafrarium tumidum (I forgot the authour...)

Hi Bart,
Thank you for reply.
WoRMS dont accept " Gafrarium tumidum "
       <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=208528">http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php? ... &id=208528</a><!-- m -->
       Accept   " Gafrarium pectinatum "
         And   " Gafrarium menkei "  dont exist at this register.
I will enter them as:Â " Gafrarium pectinatum " (Linnaeus, 1758)
       Thank you
