I think the OP talking about the red circle/spot but yes spirorbids are there. The red spot may be coraline or a sponge of some type, hard to tell by the pic.

It's a non photosynthetic mushroom, hard to tell which species from the picture. It might be an orange ball anemone but look up corynactis sp https://www.reeflex.net/tiere/2069_Corynactis_sp_01.htm

Should have said they are a great hitchhiker, might very slowly spread but won't take over. They won't hurt the clam at all and are just an interesting addition to be enjoyed.
