Mossy+Chiton

Mossy Chiton is found between British Colombia to Baja California. The Mossy Chiton has an oval body that can get up to 3.5 inches long. They are brown to olive to gray in color and often have algae growing on them. They are found on rocks that are protected from heavy surf and also can be found in tide pools in a low to mid intertidal zone. Mossy Chiton is mostly nocturnal so during the day time you have to overturn some rocks to find them. Their diet consists of red algae and green algae. With a good eye you'll be able to see one of these on a trip down to the beach.
