Molluscs - Phylum Mollusca
Molluscs (Mollusca) include animals such as snails, slugs, clams, oysters, mussels, squids, octopuses, and nautiluses. These animals have a 'head-foot' muscular structure for locomotion, a visceral mass, mantal, and mantal cavity.
Marine Clam Feeds on Wood and Air
The shipworm, despite its name, is not a worm at all. Instead it is a type of marine clam that burrows into the wood of ships and piers where it wreaks havoc. As scientists have recently discovered, the clam feeds on the wood, a nutrient-poor food source which by itself does not provide the protein necessary to sustain the clam.

Mollusks (Phylum Mollusca)
Molluscs (Phylum Mollusca) are a highly diverse group of animals that include cephalopods (squid, octopuses, cuttlefish), gastropods (nudibranchs, snails, slugs, limpets, sea hares), bivalves (mussels, clams, oysters, scallops) and many other groups of organisms.
