Diodora aspera | Rough Keyhole Limpet | The dark rays on the shell of this species make it distinct from all other local keyhole limpets. this limpet is often beachcombed, or found at negative tides on rocks. |
Fissurellidea bimaculata | Two-spotted keyhole limpet | This pretty keyhole limpet sometimes doesn't look much like a limpet because its mantle may cover the entire shell. However, even then there is a characteristic little crater located apically. This limpet may be a predator on Marine vomit (Didemnum vexillum) in Whiting Harbor, near Sitka. |
