Answer:

Zebra mussels are an invasive, fingernail-sized mollusk that is native to freshwaters in Eurasia. Their name comes from the dark, zig-zagged stripes on each shell. Zebra mussels probably arrived in the Great Lakes in the 1980s via ballast water that was discharged by large ships from Europe.
