Hewn is also the only of the types of cephalopods that have color vision (aka not color blind).

They are hiding in holes, highlighting his head, and when you feel threatened, they will immediately pull back his head into the hole. Tentacles of feather-like tentacles that form a "Christmas tree" so-called twin radioles , which will filter out plankton for food, also helps breathing (respiration).

Beautiful colors in the picture - the picture above - it's actually not a color in kerangnya. The color comes from a layer of tissue mantle of life that is connected to the legs - the snail push it out from the cover kerangnya. This network is also working like the gills of fish. If the snail is attacked, mantle (and colors) will be withdrawn. Arguably, this is the only sea creature that could turn into pale in case of urgency.
