Also known as the teredo, the shipworm can do considerable damage to wooden ships, drilling its way into submerged timber.

The sea-horse is a very odd-looking fish, but a fish nonetheless.

I would have thought it was a mollusc, just like mussels, clams, oysters and limpets, but no, it's more closely related to lobsters, shrimps, crabs, etc.
