Slipper shells are found living on the shells of other mollusks where they eat the algae that grows on the shell. Some snails have many slipper shells on them. The species seems to perfer blue top snails.

This animal does not inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
