Cephalopods are a phylum of mollusks that include squids, octopi, the chambered nautilus, and cuttlefish. All cephalopods have tentacles, most are carnivores, and they are all mollusks. All mollusks have a radula, or toothy tongue, a mantle, or thin layer of tissue that covers the organs and makes the shell, and a muscular foot.
They are most related to other cephalopods like squid or cuttlefish. They are distantly related to other mollusks such as oysters or slugs.
Cephalopods are the only mollusks with a closed circulatory system. They have two gill hearts (also known as branchial hearts) that move blood through the capillaries of the gills. A single systemic heart then pumps the oxygenated blood through the rest of the body. Like most molluscs, cephalopods use hemocyanin, rather than hemoglobin to transport oxygen
Both Clams and Octopuses are Mollusks. Clams are under the subphylum Bivalves, and octopuses are cephalopods. Lobsters on the other hand, are not Mollusks. They are crustaceans. Also, an obvious difference is the lobsters exoskeleton.
The chambered nautilus has more primitive eyes than some other cephalopods; the eye has no lens and thus is comparable to a pinhole camera. The species has about 90 tentacles with no suckers, which is also different from other cephalopods. Chambered nautiluses have a pair of rhinophores, which detect chemicals, and use olfaction and chemotaxis in order to find their food... -wikipedia
Since cephalodpods are animals such as octopus, squid, and cuttlefish, they usually either entwine their tentacles around their prey to trap it, or they use their suction cups to stick to prey and then consume it.
Some adaptations of mollusks include an operculum that most univalves have for protection, the radula of the moon snail that is used to drill through other shells to get their food, and the jet propulsion movement and ink sac of cephalopods to escape predators. - a jeark
The three primary characteristics of mollusks are a mantle with a cavity for breathing and excretion, a radula, and the structure of the nervous system. Squid and other cephalopods have all of these characteristics.
Larger cephalopods have been known to eat smaller cephalopods, not the other way around.

A molluscum contagiosum (MC), sometimes called a water wart, is a viral infection of the skin that can be spread by contact, to other areas or to other people. The virus does not have a dormant stage.
Yes, an octopus is an cephalopod which means head foot. Other cephalopods include cuttlefish, squid, and an nautilus which is the only cephalopod that still carries a shell.
