The deep-sea limpet Bathyacmaea lactea is a species in the family Acmaeidae. And it is a common species associated with the dominant mussel beds in cold seeps. They can feed on bacteria and decomposing the periostracum of Bathymodiolus shells, which make deep-sea limpets different from the well-studied symbionts.
