This is a new species of Bathyacmaea (Mollusca, Gastropoda,  Patellogastropoda, Acmaeidae) currently under description by a japanese colleague. I have found hundreds of these  individuals in my quantitative collections of chemoautotrophic communities at the Lau Basin hydrothermal vent fields. They reminded me of the Patella limpet I learned about in my undergrad inverts class.

Sam over at Oceanographer&#8217;s Choice knows what is up.  There really is no way anything other than a member of the Arthropoda could even be considered the most awesomest invert on the scene.

Yeah, squids are freaky&#8230;real freaky freaks.  An article over at Practical Fish Keeping details the work of recent PhD Henk-Jan Hoving.  His dissertation makes mine look like rainbows and unicorns.  The thrust of his work was to study reproductive techniques in deep-sea <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2009/02/squid-cuts-body-of-sexual-partner/">Squid Cuts Body of Sexual Partner</a></span>]]></description>

In general, among Mollusks, the mouth opens into a buccal cavity.  In most classes of Mollusks, the buccal cavity contains a tongue called the odontophore.  The odontophore possess multiple rows of teeth called radula that chitonous and flexible.  Among Mollusks the number of teeth can range from a few to over 100,000.  <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2008/03/on-how-mollusks-are-cooler-than-echinoderms-or-anything-else-pt-3-the-radula/">On How Mollusks are Cooler Than Echinoderms (or anything else) Pt. 3: The Radula</a></span>]]></description>
