Limpets have very hard conical shells which help protect them from waves crashing into them and also from humans stepping on them!
Also, they have a sandpaper-like tongue called a radula to help them scrape algae from the rocks.
Limpets clasp tightly to rocks by carving themselves a place called a home scar.This makes it very difficult to remove them from the rock and helps to protect them.
