LOL, I was going to say the underside looks very hummelincki :biggrin2: but in the video the arms and mantle look more vulgaris. Hummelincki arms are sort of stubby and almost form a triangle. This one (does he/she have a name?) seems to have longer arms and a longer, less "chunky" mantle. I have often thought O. hummelincki cannot fit through as small of a hole as an equal sized O. briareus because their mantle seems much thicker and more muscular. This is very evident when they are preserved.

I am glad you are getting across to the kids that there is much left to be discovered and hopefully that each discovery we do make brings new questions to be answered.
