Blue-rayed limpets have always been a favourite shell of mine. A couple of weeks ago, I found that they have two lifestyles: small thin-shelled, brightly rayed forms on the "leaves" of Laminaria seaweed, and older, chunkier forms that live within the holdfasts. Stormy Amy washed up lots of Laminaria on Mull. here's an unfortunate displaced old limpet with bryozoan and serpulid pals living in a former "holdfast"... #Limpet #Bryozoan #Seaweed #PatellaPellucida
