Mediterranean Limpet searching for her specie.

Mediterranean Limpet searching for her specie.
2 mm ??  Wow!  What are you using for a camera?  In the Mediterranean there are a few species of very tiny limpets of the genus Propilidium, in the family Lepetidae.  And, also a few species of Cocculina, in the family Cocculinidae. It could be one of these.  But I think it is going to be difficult to ID with any degree of certainty.  Your shell could also be a small juvenile of a larger species. There are several limpet species in your area, including Cellana radiata, Patella caerulea, Patella rustica, and perhaps Patella ferruginea and Patella ulyssiponensis. Your shell could be a juvenile of any of them.
