Floppy alien creature adapted to Klingon, you hear? (6)

I believe the answer is:

limpet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'creature adapted to klingon you hear?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'floppy alien' is the wordplay.
'floppy' becomes 'limp' (I've seen this in another clue).
'alien' becomes 'et' (extraterrestrial).
'limp'+'et'='LIMPET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limpet that I've seen before include "Shellfish that sticks to surface" , "Clinging mollusc" , "Proverbially clinging shellfish" , "A shellfish that sticks to rocks or ships" , "Clinging gastropod" .)
