Chiton olivaceus
It has an oval body with eight calcareous plates on the dorsal part. They are fixed to the substrate and move with a suction cup foot. It is dark brown in color. It feeds on algae and small organisms that it takes off with the radula. If it detaches from the rock, it curls into a ball.
