Mussels and Limpets on a beach rock.

Stuck like a limpet' is a common English phrase, leading to the name of the limpet mine that can stick to the side of a ship. Here is a group of true limpets (Patella vulgata) with their shells stuck onto a pink granite rock on a beach at Cot Valley, Cornwall, England. ('Limpet' is a name given to many salt- and freshwater gastropods, but these are the real McCoy.) Also on this rock are small acorn barnacles (Sessilia). Barnacles are encrusters, attaching themselves permanently to a hard surface. Acorn barnacles attach straight on to the rock, unlike a goose barnacle, which attaches via a stalk. Surprisingly, barnacles are related to crabs and other crustaceans, an entirely different line of evolution from the gastropods nearby (the limpets).
