Dear Paul, Andrew et al.

Thanks for sharing your know-how with me.

Using term “limpet” was a bit misguiding;
I was speaking about Lepetodrilus fucensis- their shells are rather fragile
and “soft” parts are now hard as concrete.

This species is prone to breakage during extracting soft parts.  Don’t ask me
how I know this…
I can easily imagine researcher saying F_ _ K everytime it happened. So maybe
researchers originally named it fuckensis and “k” got lost later…

You recommend adding spoonful of baking soda in the water-what’s the
aproximate ratio soda/water?

Milan
