It's a musselIs it a mussel or snail? Snails show up in ponds all the time. They come in on plants or on birds. They cause not harm but can multiply fast.
Nope. I know what nails are. These are two half shells closed up. Mussel. I'll have to take a better photo and post it.View attachment 124691

I started my pond with water. I now have snails, salamanders, tadpoles, fish, and all manner of aquatic life. I'd like to find some mussels someday.
