If you ever find yourself in Tasmania, GO TIDEPOOLING!!!
Normally a keyhole limpet would be a trip highlight, but I forgot about the poor thing because I was obsessively hunting Lomis (see below)

@franzanth.bsky.social however should have made the PRIMARY option for #InsertAnInvert2024 false crabs into the hairy stone crab, Lomis hirta!
MY FAVORITE CRAB!!!!!!
This species is its own false crab carcinization! Not porcelain, not king, just crab again 🦀🧪🦑😍

And NOT limpets! This is the coolest snail in the thread y'all!!!
OMG I did not realize I had a photo of this and wish it had been my FIRST snailpost! 🐌🦑
See the big wacky black thing at the top? It's Scutus antipodes, a keyhole limpet!! A weirdo more closely related to abalone than true limpets (quoted) or slugs.
(Chitons and tubeworms photobombing)
