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.
