Certain molluscs are in badly behaved manner, I hear (7)
I believe the answer is:
nautili
'certain molluscs' is the definition.
'nautili' can be an answer for 'molluscs' (nautilus is a kind of mollusc). I'm not sure about the 'certain' bit.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nautili that I've seen before include "Cephalopod molluscs" , "creatures in the sea" , "marine life" .)
