It doesn't move, and also when I was trying to make the clam close a bit also can see what looks like a feather duster maybe

Thing above the squirt actually looks more like an Aptasia anemone. That is something that you should remove.

is the structure hard and calcerous, or is it soft?
shape wise it looks similar to some of the duster type animals i've seen, but they aren't usually that translucent.

Thanks for the help going let them stay where they are sense it's not bothering the clam, and if the duster survives long enough to get little bigger, then I will to get it off the clam.
