Member of triad moored up in Brixham harbour (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brahma

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'member of triad moored' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'up in brixham harbour' is the wordplay.
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'amharb' can be found hidden inside 'brixham harbour'.
'amharb' written backwards gives 'BRAHMA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brahma that I've seen before include "god to many Indians" , "Heavy domestic fowl with feathered legs and feet" , "being worshipped" , "Hindu creator god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
