''Radsia nigrovirescens'', the brooding chiton, is a small polyplacophoran mollusc in the family Chitonidae, found on the west coast of southern Africa. Description The valves of the shell are dark brown to black and bear indistinct radiating ridges. The girdle is of a rufous color and has a black band; it is covered with large, smooth scales that may have a coppery sheen. Individuals are 10–25 mm in length.

Chiton
Chitons () are marine molluscs of varying size in the class Polyplacophora (), formerly known as Amphineura. About 940 extant and 430 fossil species are recognized. They are also sometimes known as gumboots or sea cradles or coat-of-mail shells or suck-rocks, or more formally as loricates, polyplacophorans, and occasionally as polyplacophores. Chitons have a shell composed of eight separate shell plates or valves. These plates overlap slightly at the front and back edges, and yet articulate well with one another. Because of this, the shell provides protection at the same time as permitting the chiton to flex upward when needed for locomotion over uneven surfaces, and even allows the animal to curl up into a ball when dislodged from rocks. The shell plates are encircled by a skirt known as a girdle. Habitat Chitons live worldwide, from cold waters through to the tropics. They live on hard surfaces, such as on or under rocks, or in rock crevices. Some species live quite hi ...
