White Limpets [Propilidium]

Description

Propilidium, or White Limpets, are a genus recognized for their small, white, dome-shaped shells. These limpets are typically found in cold, deep waters, often associated with sponge gardens and other sessile invertebrates. They have a simple body structure with a large foot for attachment and a radula for feeding on microorganisms. Propilidium species are important contributors to the ecosystem dynamics of their habitats, participating in the cycling of organic material.
