Friend or Foe?

Hi was wondering if this clam on the torch i just bought is a friend or something i should remove? Also should i glue the snail in the last photo?

1. is a harmless hitchhiker bivalve of some sort, likely a mussel. Usually, NPS bivalves starve in captivity without supplemental phytoplankton, but hitchhikers like these are quite hardy and can last for extended periods of time.

2. is a Vermetid snail. Glue it shut.
