What would YOU make of this word?!?!?

I teach 4th grade. We are on a science unit on invertebrates. Here’s a word unscramble of an invertebrate for you:

N _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the other letters are :

t i u l u s a

if it helps, the little picture beside it looks like a shrimp. Or perhaps a snail with tentacles?!

SEVERAL teachers have tried to figure this one out with no success. I am starting to think there IS no right answer!

Thanks for trying!
