The slipper limpet (Credipula fornicata) is a suspension feeder, so feeds in a similar way to other limpets and oysters. Slipper limpets filter out food in the water using their gills, which serve to get oxygen from the water and strain out suspended food particles. The 'caught' food is then wafted down a channel to the mouth. Slipper limpets are mollusks, and have a similar Biology to a snail or slug.

I suspect that the question you might want answered is 'what a barnacle traps plankton with'. It is also a suspension feeder but has a trap door which opens through which it feeds. It is an arthropod, not a mollusk and has adapted legs with fronds on it that it uses to strain the water.
