Limpet Mollusca – Gastropoda Most limpet species have a cone-shaped shell and a muscular foot, with which they cling tightly to the reef or to other hard substrates. Grazing on algae at high tide, limpets generally return to exactly the same place where they left their mark on the rock at low-tide. Photo: Carina Gemignani Did you know?
