Cirrate shell
text:
Cirrate octopuses possess a well-developed internal shell that supports their muscular swimming fins. This is in contrast to the more familiar, finless, incirrate octopuses, in which the shell remnant is either present as a pair of stylets or absent altogether. The cirrate shell is quite unlike that of any other living cephalopod group and has its own dedicated set of descriptive terms. It is usually roughly arch- or saddle-shaped and is rather soft, being similar in consistency to cartilage. Ea
