a.) Nereid: In Greek mythology, the nereids were sea-nymphs, daughters of the nymph Doris and of Nereus. They number in fifty (although it is sometimes said that they number in 100). Sometimes seen frolicking on the surface of the water, the nereids (whose name means 'wet ones') lived in the underwater palace of their father. These virgins had golden hair and each had a golden throne in their father's palace. They wove and spun and often rode on dolphins. b.) Nereid is also the name of one of Neptune's moons and so is Triton!

What planet has 8 moons only?
I believe that might be Saturn. A lot of people say that Saturn has 64 moons and stuff like that, but very few are actually moons. I've personally seen 3 moons, but the third might have been a star. Comment: No, it's not Saturn. Neptune is the probable answer, but it now has more than 8 known moons. The two moons seen from Earth are Triton and Nereid.
What is the only large moon that circles its planet in the opposite direction to the planets rotation?
Neptunes Triton. Triton's icy surface reflects so much of what little sunlight reaches it that the moon is one of the coldest objects in the solar system, about -240 C (-400 F). It's the only large moon in the solar system that circles its planet in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a retrograde orbit), which suggests that it may once have been an independent object that Neptune captured. The disruptive effect this would have had on other satellites could help to explain why Nereid has the most eccentric orbit of any known moon - it's almost seven times as far from Neptune at one end of its orbit as at the other end
