Mollusks have four main predators. One predator is a starfish. It grabs the mollusk and slowly forces open the shell and eats the animal inside. Another predator is the otter. It mainly feasts off of land snails but it sometimes dives deep for an underwater snack. The two other predators are raccoons and muskrats, but they always eat land snails.

A mollusk with a shell consisting of two parts is a member of the class?

Most people believe the second class of mollusks is referring to a school because many fish together is noted as a "school" of fish. This is not the case however. The second class mollusks noted as a "gang". Second class mollusks are the mollusks that, if they were humans, would be classified as "white trash". These mollusks are the dirty bottom feeders that partake in vile activities/ behaviors which gives them the name second class, or nicknamed "classless mollusks". In their ecosystem, the second class mollusks are in abundance because predators prefer class over "sass". The first class mollusks, which are the predators' choice, show disgust towards the second class mollusks and they even outcast them. It seems as if they are upset to be part of the same species. The second class mollusks are not eaten by humans, but soon they will be the only mollusks that exist because they have few to no predators.

What do mollusks eat?

Mollusks eat all kinds of things. The cephalopods (octopii, squids, and their allies) are predators of fish and other marine life. Most bivalves are pretty much herbivorous, feeding primarily on algae, though some are predators. The gastropods are also mixed, with some herbivorous, such as abalones, and some carnivorous predators, such as moon snails, oyster drills, and cone shells. Incidentally, some cone shells (Family Conidae) are poisonous enough to kill people!food
