The beautiful pink, white, and sometimes blue zig-zag patterns
of this handsome organism makes it unique from all other Pacific
chitons. Chitons remain stationary when they are exposed at low
tide and move about only when they are covered with water.
The pattern of the colorful markings on their eight plates creates
an effective camouflage protecting this organism from predators.
Habitat/Range: Lined Chitons are commonly found on coralline
algae covered rock surfaces. They are found from the Aleutian
Islands in Alaska to the Channel islands in Southen California.
