The Guide books don’t ID this small limpet with the ‘jaunty’ helmet

“Piggy” limpet

Found on M. cornucopeia plants on exposed side.

The ‘cap’ seems almost too small for the bulk – giving it a ‘comical’ look to me. Thus the “Piggy” limpet name

 

  Triple in June

 

Viewed from top side

Video shows detail of algae etc well

347 K in WMF format

and 1.12 Mb MPG file of just the limpet

 

 

Lots of little limpets of unknown genus

There were at least 2 sizes – many smaller ones and a few larger ones and most were seen within 1 square meter
