Mirror Limpets [Cocculina]

Description

Cocculina is a genus of small to medium-sized marine limpets, known for their distinctive, often shiny or mirror-like shells. These limpets are found attached to hard substrates in deep-sea environments around the world. They exhibit a unique foot structure adapted for clinging onto surfaces in areas of strong currents or low light levels. Members of this genus are characterized by their conical shells and the presence of a muscular foot, which they use for attachment and locomotion.
