Mollusks in the classes gastropod (snails, slugs, nudibranchs) and bivalves (clam, mussels) move with a muscular foot. In the class of cephalopods, the foot has become 8 tentacles and no longer is used for movement. In this case, they use jet propulsion and water propels them away from predators or towards prey.

there are several different kinds of these creatures and each has a unique method adapted for survival.
