Info

Patella vulgata is found wherever there is substratum firm enough for its attachment on rocks, stones and in rock pools, from the high shore to the sublittoral fringe. It is abundant on all rocky shores of all degrees of wave exposure although the highest densities of Patella vulgata coincide with wave exposed conditions. The species is usually not abundant on shores with a dense growth of seaweed. Patella vulgata extends into estuaries, surviving salinities down to about 20 psu.

Vorsicht beim Einsetzen ins Aquarium. Am besten die Schnecken an der Scheibe oder an Gestein festsaugen lassen. Fallen die Schnecken auf den Rücken können sie sich nicht mehr aus eigener Kraft umdrehen und sind schutzlos. Falls Garnelen oder Einsiedler im Becken sind fallen diese recht schnell über die wehrlosen Schnecken her, also am besten einige Zeit beobachten, ob sich die Schnecken wirklich befestigt haben.
Verschiedene Napfschnecken-Arten werden bspw. auf Madeira und in Frankreich gegessen.

so..
Jetz kann ich noch ein par sachen zur haltung sagen. Im meer trifft man sie meistens in der Gezeitenzone an, wo sie zeitweise trocken liegen. Mir is aufgefallen, das meine Schnecken 1-2 mal am Tag aus dem Wasser krabbeln und dort für einige zeit bleibt. Den genauen grund, ob das mit den Gezeiten zu tuhn hat oder so kann ich leider nicht sagen.
Das wichtigste bei der Haltung ist, dass sie eine Scheibe/Stein mit flachem Algenwuchs zur Verfügung hat. Lange Fadenalgen umwandert sie einfach.
Und seeehr vorsichtig muss man beim entfernen vom Stein/Scheibe sein. Schon eine kleine Verletzung bedeutet das baldige verenden dieser Schnecke. Meine mussten vor kurzem in ein neues Aquarium umzihen. Um sie verletzungsfrei entfernen zu können, hab ich in die Mitte einer Plastikfolie ein loch geschnitten und diese mit einem Magnet-Scheibenreiniger um die Schnecke befestigt. Nach kurzer zeit ist sie freiwillig auf die Folie gekrabbelt und konnte gefahrlos umzihen.

Aber sons ist sie selbst für Tropische Aquarien suuuper geeignet und es siht immer lustig aus, sie beim fressen zu beobachten..
