I didn't know limpets had teeth lol makes sense when u think about it.
Yup @Benjamin11, and their teeth have been found to be stronger than spider silk. Their teeth have been studied and found to be made of Goethite, thus my 'goethite' response to the word 'strong' in this game. From what I read it's 10% stronger than silk and won't break as easily when stretched; it's the hardest biological in the world. It's being looked at for use in the automobile industry as well as for tools--very interesting, to me anyway. Since they are constantly racking against rocks (moving about and removing algae to eat) the material must be super strong. Just in case, if you might be interested:
