The Nautilus is a cephalopod with a hard shell, over 90 tentacles, and poor eyesight

Nautilus shells are popular seashells that can be found washed up on beaches 🌊  They can grow up to 6-8 inches long.  However, nautilus shells sold in stores are encouraging deep-sea harvesting/fishing of the nautilus resulting in declining populations. ☹️
