It is a common species and is found among acorn barnacles on vertical rock faces in high to mid-intertidal zones, on both exposed and sheltered coasts. In California, young limpets, up to ten millimetres in diameter, often live on the opercular plates of gooseneck barnacles, "Pollicipes polymerus" and on mussel shells. In both cases, the colouring varies from that of the rock-based form and provides camouflage. At Mission
New Drug Application Review should complete within 6 months. The decision comes in a "Complete Response Letter".
