Scallop. They swim only when they have to. Most of the time they just sit on the bottom. This is the closest I can get to a free swimming bivalve.

Do clams care for their young?
No, clams do not care for their young. In these bivalves, the eggs are not even kept by the parent or parents. They are "cast to the wind" or, more correctly, into the ocean, lake or river currents, depending on which species they are. They become tiny free-swimming creatures in most cases, and then find a place to settle and turn into the bivalve with which we are familiar. Needless to say, many of the clams in their free-swimming form do not survive, but become food for other ocean creatures. Links can be found below.
