Selective focus view of a Chitons shell at the rocky shore or rockpool. It is a marine mollusc of class Polyplacophora, known as Amphineura, sea cradles or "coat-of-mail shells".
These strange creatures are edible, and people eat them all over the world, but most commonly in the Caribbean islands, Aruba, Barbados, Bermuda, Tobago, and Trinidad.
Chitons are marine molluscs of varying size in the class Polyplacophora for education in laboratory.
Chiton's mouths are located on the underside of their shell body.
