How does a Limpet protect itself its enemies?
By going to places where the enemy does not go. For instance, if a bird is attacking the Limpet it will go into the nearest body of water where the bird will not follow to.

Scientists have done a study on certain subspecies and discovered that the limpet can identify its attacker chemically. (Wikipedia is a good source)
