The flat periwinkle, also known as Littorina obtusata, typically inhabits intertidal zones along rocky shorelines in coastal areas of the North Atlantic. It prefers environments such as salt marshes, tidal pools, and shores with algae and seaweed, where it can find food and shelter. These snails are often found clinging to rocks and other surfaces, where they graze on algae.

Why flat periwinkle cannot live on high tide?

The flat periwinkle (Littorina obtusata) is adapted to live in intertidal zones where it can cling to rocks and feed on algae during low tide. During high tide, it is submerged and may be unable to access its food sources or experience increased competition and predation. Additionally, the strong wave action and turbulent conditions can dislodge them from their preferred habitats, making survival more difficult. Thus, they thrive in a more stable environment during low tide.
