Sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus)

The sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) has over 100 blue eyes along the edge of its mantle, with which it senses light intensity. This mollusk has the ability to scoot away from poetential danger by flapping the two parts of its shell, like a wimming castenet. (photo: Dann Blackwood, USGS)
