Eulittoral = "good shore" = intertidal zone favorable to life
"The territorial gardening limpet, Patella cochlear, also known as the pear limpet, dominates the lower
eulittoral zone along with its principle prey, the encrusting coralline alga, Spongites yendoi (the greyish encrustations).Patella cochlear territories are known to touch but appear not to overlap as indicated by
narrow strips (A) ungrazed by P.cochlear.
