	There are also a ton of little snails on it too as you can see. ![]() ![]()  |

			 It's a chiton and it won't bother anything.  Those Pyramid Snails on the other hand will eat your clam and kill it.

			 The flat thing is a chiton I believe. Looks like a wood louse bug. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			Generally eats algae.

	If you see it, can take care of it, better get it or put it on hold. Otherwise, it'll be gone & you'll regret it!  |

			 I assume you are asking about the chiton? They are harmless coralline algae eaters 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Other then that I see what appears to be a pest anemone and parasitic snails  |

			 Not sure about the one in the pic, but those are pyramid snails and not good when it comes to clams.
