limpit reef safe?

I seen a limpit around my GSP for the last few days and the GSP has not opened and now looks like parts of it are gone.


This is due to the limpit?

so your saying it might be due to this type of limpit?




the limpit is on the right in this picture, but lately he has been hanging around my GSP and I believe to be eating it.

Looks like key hole limpit.

So they do eat GSP?

honestly i am not sure on what kind limpet that is but i have read over years that some kinds are not reef safe and do graze on corals. maybe some else can chime on it.
