These nematocysts are obtained when the snails feed on Cnidarians; sea hairs secret ink for defense against predators Know Dextral, Sinistral and Planospiral shells and which is coiled to the right or left. Know that cephalopods are the smartest invertebrates out there; Bioluminescence in some; and know some of their general biology characteristics Know unionid clams are endangered because of the button industry and pearl industry
