Clams breathe through gills much like fish. A mussel (commonly called a clam) consists mostly of a long brownish dual-purpose muscular foot. The animal moves via its foot and anchors itself to something substantial with the foot: a rock, ship, or dock. When the mussel lies underwater, its foot sticks out between its two hinged shells. The Clam also moves using the surrounding current when it releases from a rock.

How do clams move in the water?
Since giant clams cannot move themselves, they adopt broadcast spawning. They release sperm and eggs into the water. A transmitter substance called Spawning Induced Substance (SIS) helps synchronize the release of sperm and eggs to ensure fertilization. The substance is released through a syphonal outlet. Other clams can detect SIS immediately. Incoming water passes chemoreceptors situated close to the inccurent syphon, which transmit the information directly to the cerebral ganglia, a simple form of brain. In other words... Nope

Chameleons move by using their strong legs and tails to climb and walk on branches. They can change color to blend in with their surroundings, which helps them hide from predators and sneak up on prey. Their eyes can move independently, allowing them to look in different directions at the same time, helping them spot danger or food. Chameleons also have specialized feet that help them grip onto surfaces, making it easier for them to move around in their environment.
