Scallops can propel themselves away from danger by contracting their powerful muscles and "clapping" their shells together, forcing water out through openings on both sides of their shell hinge.
Scallops normally rest on the on the seafloor with shells partially open to allow water to be pumped past the gills for filter-feeding and gas exchange.
These tentacles have sensory roles, helping to alert the scallop to danger that might warrant clapping the shells shut for protection, and they serve as a sort of sieve to prevent large particles from entering the mantle cavity (within which the delicate gills are exposed).

Frequently found on the Assateague beach, Atlantic bay scallop shells come in a variety of colors and usually have about 17 to 20 ribs and (if they haven't broken off) a pair of nearly equal "ears" at the hinge.
Scallops, unlike many other bivalves such as the clam, do not burrow in the sand; instead, they lie on the bottom and move by using their adductor muscle to rapidly open and close their valves, ejecting water around the hinge.
Around the edge of the scallop's mantle (the layer of tissue around the scallop's body that secretes the shell) is a series of blue eyes that, though rather weak, can detect movement nearby and warn of the presence of predators, particularly of sea stars.
