Does anyone have any of the local limpets we have here in South Florida? I have an endless supply here at the house and was wondering if should put some in the tank to help keep the glass and rocks clean.

Reefcleaners sells them, I have them in my tank if they are the same kind.

I never knew if these were like snails and move around or are they were like barnicels and stay in one place there whole life

They move around to graze on algae

South Florida Limpets?

Don't the crawl out of the water?

The ones I have in my tank stay small and are lighter in color.
