Indeed!

Cephalo - Head
Pod - Foot

Thus, the Headfeet!

don't snails count as cephalopods or is that what cephalopods evolved from

Snails and slugs are in a different class of Mollusca, Gastropoda. No one really knows how the 8 major lineages (classes) of molluscs are related to each other but figuring it out using DNA sequence data is my Ph.D. dissertation research project.

Hello I recently saw cuttlefish eggs for sale at my lfs and there scientific name was sepia officinalis and I was wondering what the min tank size for one would be

Thales · 05/05/2014, 03:27 AM

Very doubtful there were actually S. officinalis, and most likely they are S. bandensis. S. officinalis get very large 30 cm + and require 70 degree water. However, they are prolly S. bandensis which are tropical and get max 4 inches please do some serious research before purchasing because they are not simple to raise from eggs.
