Is their max size less then 1" in length?

No.

 

[chort55]

MotherFish is back in the game! Y'all better get going if you want the two points!

I have a correction. While some species can be bigger than 1", this species is not. Its shell is much smaller than the body we see.

Its also listed as endangered in the waters of Singapore because "seawalls are not a good habitat" for them.

Yes. Now, Genus and species for the points! (To me, asking, "Is it a Limpet?" is like asking, "Is it a snail?" Though Whys may say that a picture counts as "disinformation".....)

 

[MotherFish]

Ah yes, I forgot there was Genus and Species mentioned until your recap.

 

[MotherFish]

israelnajar, the torch can be passed to you, now. If you want to earn +1 point by being the riddler, say so now! You will have to PM Whys with yours and start us off with a clue. If you aren't interested, or don't have the time, I would gladly nominate MotherFish, who was oh-so-close, if we don't hear from Whys differently.....
