WOW!! That is impressive. Do you think this is a large species, or

Siphonariids do not grip tenaciously. Unlike limpets, they can
usually quite easily be pulled off by hand. And if they do hold on
tight, you can slip a blunt knife under the foot (I like to dig into
the rock under the foot, so as not to injure the animal and cause it
pain).
