Mollusks
Thank you, Daniel, for quality articles on marine life based on scientific research, beginning with Melo melo and "crowned" today by Laevistrombus canarium (dog conch), for enjoying teamwork, for excellent images and for the amusing way you describe yourself as one of the creatures which "may cause further wiki-environmental alterations", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
