Creature with a shell (7)

I believe the answer is:

mollusc

(Other definitions for mollusc that I've seen before include "Clam or mussel, for example" , "Creature with soft body and hard shell like snail" , "Invertebrate such as a snail" , "Type of invertebrate" , "one likely to be shelled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
