Siphon them with a 3/8” - 1/4” tubing and dorvillidae worm may be an issue also

Anything we do they come back, tried siphoning, brushing, fw dip. Haven’t seen them anywhere other then the clam, still possible completely harmless but seems suspicious.
 
“Sand skater” isopod (Sphaeromatidae/Serolidae). These "pods" are harmless scavengers:
