What do the eyes of a conch look like?

Conchs have two-lensed eyes at the end of stalks (ommatophores). A black pupil and colored iris is found at the tip along with a sensory tentacle used to feel objects. The eyes cannot be fully retracted underneath their shell and extend slightly.

Does a conch have a brain?

Molluscs, with the exception of the most highly developed cephalopods, have no brain in the strict sense of the word. Instead, the cell bodies (pericarya) of nerve cells are concentrated in nerve knots (ganglia) in important parts of the body.
