New nano tank - oyster?

First off I just want to say I'm new to the whole salt water thing, but I'm really enjoying it and learning a lot.
My tank just got to the point where I put in the live rock, and man is it alive! So far I have found a snail, starfish, few small coral (one which has already bloomed), a few tiny feather dusters, and what I believe to be a huge oyster. I didn't even notice him when I picked out the LR because he is so encrusted it looks just like the rock! I have observed him open and shut quite a bit in the last 24 hrs. Now i'm just wondering what this guy needs to survive?
My tank is a biocube 14, with the #1 floor removed and cut divider for better flow, bioballs removed, stock pump (MJ900 on the way), and stock lights (led mod in the future).
Is there any hope of keeping him alive? What do I feed it?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Well that sucks. If/when it dies I guess I will have to remove it huh? There are quite a bit of coral on it and a real tiny but pretty blue one on the back side.

The tank has been set up for about 4 weeks with the water and fine coral sand in it. I got the LR from a small pet shop I've been going to for years (for my geko) so I would imagine they have had it for a while. I know they quarantine their fish for 2 months before they even sell them.

Also any idea what these are? They are real small and scattered through out. They seem to come and go from the holes in the rock.
