So I got this claim about 3 weeks ago and I started to notice some stuff growing out the sides of it. Is it normal?

That looks like aiptasia to me, but I have not seen it on a clam before. I have seen it on power heads so it is certainly possible.
I would definitely say it is not normal and should be removed.
 
Agreed that they are Aiptasia.. I would mix up a kalk mix and use a needle to inject the Aiptasia.
 
Yep, aiptasia, and it's normal in the sense that just about all reefers have it in their tanks at some time. Good that you can take clam out of your tank and kill aiptasia by scraping, using Aiptasia X or other commercial products, lemon juice, etc. (I wouldn't use hot water, btw)
