Veiled Chiton

Most chitons are rather boring, slow moving, algae-eating mollusks  about the size of a chicken egg. The veiled chiton, however, has evolved a clever weapon. It uses a head flap,   or veil, like a trap, keeping it propped at a 45-degree angle.

When a small fish or crab swims under the veil — Watch out...  The trap  flaps down, and the chiton eats the prey with its    rasping tongue. The    veiled chiton lives under boulders and   rock  crevices along the Pacific coastline from Alaska to Southern California.

Caption: A veiled chiton patiently waits for prey to swim into its trap.
