Molluscs are among the most successful animals on Earth, inhabiting everything from coral reefs to deep-sea vents. This vast group includes squid, sea snails, and nudibranchs — creatures that range from tiny 0.4 mm species to powerful deep-ocean predators. With over 85,000 known species, molluscs thrive in nearly every environment, making them the only animal phylum to dominate the sea, freshwater, and land alike — true masters of adaptation.
