there is a rust color shell in the middle and some purple striation. the soft foot (muscle of the mollusc) can be seen all around, the lower part, seems to have the foot retracted, but another small pink mass showing (this part is zoomed and shared in next photograph)
close up of the extra pink mass, it is tear drop shaped, and has two small pink bumps on it, below and next to it are white dots, which are possibly egg cells. (not sure if they are limpet eggcells. so if a gastropod/limpet scientist ever sees this post, maybe they can confirm)
Here's an interesting photograph for #MolluscMonday
A Hoof-shield Limpet.
2nd photo is a zoomed in version of the first one, but I might have managed to photograph a limpet laying eggs.
