Yes. It is quite possible for giant clams to latch on to your hand. They will not purposely bite you, it is instinctive that they close when they feel threatened. The clam can bite down at 225 PSI. That is enough to break every bone in your hand. My recongmindation to you is to NOT put your hand in a Giant Clam. IT will come down.

No. Although they are large enough, they have no reason to do so. They would probably close up if they saw you coming close anyway. Even if it did it would be a simple matter to remove your leg from it's mouth. They don't have much strength. I guess the only way one could hold you down would be if it fell on you while you were diving.

Bivalve mollusks like clams hold their shells closed with their muscular bodies. They also have leathery "hinges" at the rounded part of the shell which help to hold the two halves together.
