There are two sets of ocular tentacles: one set in front of the eye (pre-ocular) and one set behind the eye (post-ocular). The digital and labial tentacles are arrayed circularly around the mouth, with the digital tentacles forming the outermost ring and the labial tentacles in between the digital tentacles and the mouth.

Pulmonate land snails usually have two sets of tentacles on their head: the upper pair have an eye at the end; the lower pair are for olfaction. [1]In anatomy, an eyestalk (sometimes spelled eye stalk and also known as an ommatophore) is a protrusion that extends an eye away from the body, giving the eye a better field of view. [1]
Nautilus are unable to easily move across areas deeper than 800 metres, and most of their activity occurs at a depth of 100–300 metres deep. [4] Nautilus can occasionally be found closer to the surface than 100 metres, however, the minimum depth they can reach is determined by factors such as water temperature and season. [4]

In terrestrial pulmonate gastropods, eye spots are present at the tips of the tentacles in the Stylommatophora or at the base of the tentacles in the Basommatophora.These eye spots range from simple ocelli that cannot project an image (simply distinguishing light and dark), to more complex pit and even lens eyes. [6]
The polyps are marked with the label “Au,” and the tentacles are marked with “Ten.” Close-up photos show the polyps (Au) and tentacles (Ten) of an Anthoptilum gnome, or gnome sea pen.
In the genus Nautilus, the spadix is a composite erectile organ in the male located in the oral region which is composed of four highly modified tentacles and which is paired with a somewhat smaller antispadix that is also composed of four tentacles. The spadix is normally a concealed organ but quickly becomes distended upon the animal's death.
