Stop-animation and Clay-animation both have the same method of making the characters move, with similarities in presentation and the finished work. This is a long and time consuming method, taking one shot, stopping camera, moving the figure ever so slightly and doing the whole process again a. The way movement is made in both processes is by taking hundreds upon thousands of individual shots of the figure, then making all the individual shots in to one piece of film.
With both Clay and Stop using the same process to make movement, it can be hard to tell the difference between the two. There is one major difference to tell them apart by what 'materials' are used to crate the characters to begin with.

Stop animation covers aboard range of materials/items that can be manipulated to move on the screen, such items can be form a simple coin to a action figure/doll. The one of the most current shows that use this method is the Robot Chicken team. I must tell you that a lot of their skits can be offensive or the joke can taken the wrong way, here a two skits that are not so bad, but they do contain swearing and violence.

A Clay Animation version of The Simpsons form one of the show's opening title sequences
Just as it's name suggests the figures that are created in the Clay Animation style are made entirely out of modeling clay or plasticine, that is the only notable difference. Stop Animation, uses the same stop and go camera techniques to make the figure move as Stop-animation.
The two best examples of clay animation that people would recognize are Wallace and Gromit and the little green blog we all love Gumby.
