The Mollusca are a LARGE phylum of invertebrate animals which includes Bivalves (which filter feed), Gastropods (which have radulae and even some with poison harpoons), Cephalopods, Squid and Octopus (Which have beaks and arms with suckers and hooks), Aplacophora (some of which are parasites). There are probably more ways in which mollusca have found to fee than has been mentioned here but his answer gives you an appreciation of the range of methods that have evolved.

In the process of feeding, it is noted that the gills of bivalves are important filtering the food that they eat and small food particles that stick to the mucous film of the gills is passed to the mouth of the clam. Half of the single shelled mollusks like snails also use radula to grind the algae from rocks. Most of the classes of phylum mollusks have radula except the bivalves. The radula teeth can be from 20 to more than 300 rows of teeth.
