Limpets (Acmaea sp.) raise their shell, rock or wiggle, and then move away at their highest possible speed (1 cm in 5 s) when a tube foot of a starfish contacts them. If the tube feet have succeeded in a tight grip, the limpet twists 90-180° around its vertical axis several times, breaking the grip by the starfish, and then moves away. The abalone, Haliotis sp., shows this response particularly well (Bullock 1953). [Pg.144]
