Kaasichiton incubatus [Kaasichiton incubatus]
Description
This chiton is typically found attached to hard rock, where its low, armored body helps it resist waves and currents. Underwater, divers might notice it as a neatly patterned, oval-looking “shell” that stays put while everything else moves around it.
