Hooked Slipper Limpet

Crepidula adunca

• Group: Other

This slipper limpet stacks onto the shells of turban snails, where females settle for life on the outside of the shell while males wander from snail to snail. It feeds by casting a mucous net to trap drifting plankton and detritus, then reeling the catch back in.
