What should I be looking for?
New live rock

Nice live rock you have there! Discovering the life among it is so exciting, isn't it? so much life in such a tiny space.
#1 is Phyllangia americana aka hidden cup coral. (I got one as a hitchhiker years ago and to this day it's still my favorite coral). I feed mine on a regular basis, at least once a week, so they grow and reproduce regularly. I started with one head and now I have at least 20 spread throughout the tank. They live in the shadows, underneath and along the rocks edges. Moderate to high turbulent flow is best.
#2 at the very top of the rock I see digitate hydroids, the are the small white strings that have little round balls stemming out.
#4 I'm not sure what the other larger white tentacle-like creatures are. Best guess is an anemone-type creature or dead/decaying algae.
The bright red balls and the yellow ones as well are various sponges.
Aiptasia is hiding there... directly below the circle you made.

Also, is this some sort of clam?

Good eye. I didn't see that. I get that sucker out when I get home later.

So as @samnaz pointed out the aptasia, I got home thirty minutes ago and boiled up some Rodi water, got out my meat injector syringe, yeah that's right, and hit that sucker about 4 times with boiling water. Goodbye aptasia, your not welcome here!
