It is a species of sea snail (littorina littorea).

It is a univalve gastropod mollusk that belongs to the Littorinidae family. They can be found in the shores and zones close to river estuaries.

They stick to underwater rocks, in the crevasses of rocky outcroppings so they can protect themselves from the waves and currents. They live crawling or slightly stuck on rocks or algae, especially on those from the Fucus genus.

They feed exclusively on algae.
