Clam and coral attached to shell question

I think it will be ok for the time being but as the Kenya tree grows it could shade out the clam so eventually you'lll probably want to pull it off.

It's just starting to open up a tiny bit, but I'm wondering if the piece of kenya tree coral (that's attached to the side of the clam shell) is bothering the clam or not. Anyone know if it would? I can pull it off if I need to but I'll leave it alone if it's not bothering the clam.

Well I pulled it off of the clam shell, I didn't want to risk it bugging the clam.
