Description

Limpets are small, shelled invertebrates with a single muscular foot. During high tide, they use their tentacles to feel their way around and feed on algae, scraping it off rock surfaces as they move. At low tide, they use their strong muscles to create a suction effect, clamping their shell tightly to the rock. This helps protect them from dehydration and predators.
