Did you know that Chiton (specifically the wandering meatloaf chiton) produce the hardest known biologically made material? Their shells are also covered in microscopic lenses that combine to almost make their body into one compound eye. Why they need to look so much, who knows?

Didn’t see them here when searching so how about chitons? (Class Polyplacophora)

Learned about em just recently and I’m curious as to how many people know of/have seen them!

Great choice!

The species pictured are the lined chiton (found on the west coast of North America) and the blue green chiton (found on the coast of New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia). A neat fact about them is that several species have been found to exhibit homing behaviors, wherein they travel in search of food and then return to their home spot. There are many theories regarding how they do so, but the exact method is unknown.
