Emarginula concinna

Description

The image displays a living specimen of Emarginula concinna, a species of slit limpet, attached to a reddish-pink hard substrate, likely rock or coral. The shell is conical and limpet-shaped, exhibiting a uniformly off-white to cream coloration. Its surface is characterized by a prominent cancellate sculpture, formed by numerous radial ribs intersecting with concentric growth lines, which gives the shell a textured, grid-like appearance, particularly towards the margin. The apex is slightly anterior and recurved. The shell's margin is distinctly crenulated, reflecting the underlying radial ribbing. The presence of an anterior slit, characteristic of the genus Emarginula, is implied by the overall morphology, though not perfectly clear from this dorsal view.
