Pyramid snails. Bad news for your clams.

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.

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.
