Slipper Limpet

Crepidula fornicata

Slipper Limpets can form “chains” of individuals, each sticking to the one below. In some areas, they can become invasive, crowding out native bivalves. At Lihou, you might spot them on rocks or other shells, creating layered stacks.

  • Habitat: On shells, rocks, or other hard surfaces in sheltered coastal areas; can form stacks.
  • When to See: Year-round
  • Length: ~2–5 cm
