No, "clam" is a casual term for a mollusk; a filter-feeder type of freshwater or marine animal that has two calcareous shells (valves) joined near a hinge with a flexible ligament. Arthropods are invertebrate animals that have an exoskeleton (external skeleton), segmented body, and jointed appendages (legs), such as Spiders (arachnids) or lobsters (crustaceans).
