_yep_

-foe... as most limpets ultimately are. They are somewhat indiscriminate feeders on bethic life forms. The brighter colors are usually a giveaway (noxious and freely predating on desirable reef life - perhaps corals or sponges). Its best to remove this species and a tank without reef invertebrates. Best regards, Anthony-

I thought limpets were just algae eaters!
