Now this is kinda cool.  If you want a very comprehensive listing of extant cephalopod species, with lots of pictures to boot, here are a couple of pdf files...

Jereb, P.; Roper, C.F.E. (eds) Cephalopods of the world. An annotated and illustrated catalogue of cephalopod species known to date. Volume 1.

I'd rather say mother-of-pearl
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

Pearl swam off to another shore for an unspecified operation; all we know for sure is that now s/he goes by "Chiton".

Nice cuttlefish. Such a wonderful skin and eye pattern on him/her.

Wow! is right -- this one looks like a jeweled ornament, or an intricate textile art piece!
