Description

This species, like other true limpets, has a fleshy body and hard, protective shell. The shell of N. potae is approximately 8.80 mm long, with a height 40% of its length. The shell has a radial color pattern, with differing shades of cream and dark brown. [2]

Distribution

N. potae has been discovered in shallow coastal inlets across both the north and south islands of New Zealand. [2]
