The pale lilliput is a small freshwater mussel that historically occurred in river systems in northern Alabama and central Tennessee. Currently, populations of the pale lilliput are limited to the headwaters of the Paint Rock River system in northern Alabama and to Lick Creek, a tributary to the Duck River, in central Tennessee.
The pale lilliput historically occurred in a wide variety of habitats from small creeks to large rivers. However, it currently seems to persist only in headwater-sized streams usually in less than three feet of water, with sand and gravel substrates and where flows are slow to moderate (Parmalee and Bogan 1998; Williams et al. 2008).
A natural body of running water.
