Chitons are organisms belonging to the class of Polyplacophora which in turn belonging to the phylum mollusca. They are mostly very small anymals (2 to 5 cm - 1 to 2 inches) with a week body, like other molluscs and attached to the surface with its food. Eight plates protect the soft body.
Sexes are separate; it means that sperm is produced by the male chitons and eggs are produced by the female chitons. Sperm is secreted by the males into the water. This sperm flows through the gills of the female and fertilize the eggs. Fertilized eggs are shed into the sea as separate eggs or as a jelly mass. Usually molluscs metamorphoses through two larval stages, i.e. a trochophore and a veliger larvae stadium. But a chiton skips the veliger stadium and metamorphoses from a trochophora larva to an adult.
