Cute, right? MOLLUSK (definition): "Any of numerous chiefly marine invertebrates of the phylum Mollusca, typically having a soft unsegmented body, a mantle, and a protective calcareous shell and including the edible shellfish and the snails." [free dictionary]
This means that the phylum Mollusca contains cephalopods like octopi and squids, AND clams and shellfish. Check out a comprehensive guide to mollusks here compliments of some ocean-side inn.
