How to use "Limpet" in context?
The limpet is a small, slimy, aquatic gastropod mollusk with a cylindrical shell. It is common in both salt and fresh water, and can also be found living on rocks and in mud.

They are able to extract a range of food items from mud, sediments and rocks including bacteria, algae, protozoans, worms and small fish.
