Hi, Jiaxu-
A) I will assume that you input the same data into both packages for seedbased correlation. Is that correct?
B) Should I also assume that for clustering you have one single determined threshold you are applying to both packages?
C) Importantly, can I ask commands you used to do this with AFNI? Did you use this program 3dTcorr1D in AFNI, or something else?

It would be best to just compare correlation maps before thresholding, as a start. Every layer of analysis could add a difference.
At the clustering level, there can be differences between packages such as what it means to be a neighbor of a voxel: do the voxels have to share a face, or just an edge, or just a node? We refer to this settable parameter as NN=1,2,3. See here for more (I don't know what Conn uses):
