A grain of sand is around 6.02E19 Daltons, imagine how much computational power there is in a sand castle!
On the other hand, snails have been shown to use just two neurons to generate their complex (relatively, I mean they're snails after all) feeding behaviour with just two neurons: https://neurosciencenews.com/neurons-decision-making-4370/
(Veering slightly offtopic here but this is the first I've heard the term 'Dalton', I've always just heard them called AMUs.)
