Beloved by countless generations of Hawai’ians for their salty taste of the ocean, ‘Opihi makaiauli (C. exarata) are an endemic form of limpet that grows nowhere else in the world. They make their home along the shores of these islands, clinging to the rocks in clusters that resemble small villages with their beautiful cone-shaped shells.
