A limpet is a small, almost flat sea creature with a shell shaped like a flattened cone. They live stuck to rocks on the beach, where the tide comes and goes. Limpets feed by scraping algae from the rock surface using a tough, tooth-like mouth. Their strong grip helps them stay in place even when the waves hit them.
