Where to look.
Thus we learn that some molluscs are chosen to live in particular environments. We knew that many people live in the sand filtering the water with its food through special appendages called siphons
Some, like Teredo, you dig a habitat in the wood making it hollow and fragile: it was a real thought for the old sailors who feared damage to the hulls of ships.
Some hammered well established in some rocks, and our teacher shows us the lair of some mollusks called "lithophagous" just because you dig a niche in the rocks.
