Molluscs for Roy's set, possibly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oysters

'molluscs' is the definition.
(oyster is a kind of mollusc)

'roy's set possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'roys'+'set'='roysset'
'roysset' anagrammed gives 'OYSTERS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oysters that I've seen before include "Yet Ross, strangely, has the marine creatures" , "Yet Ross can find the marine creatures" , "Succulent bivales" , "Sources of pearls" , "Yet Ross has these strange marine creatures" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
