Description

Goose barnacles

also known as  stalked barnacles or gooseneck barnacles which live attached to rock surfaces, ships, ropes and  flotsam in the ocean.

Goose barnacles are a type of marine crustacean that live in the intertidal zone of rocky shores. They have been known to cause problems for boats and ships since ancient times.

In the past, they were thought to be poisonous and were often used as fish bait. Today, they are considered a nuisance species due to their tendency to attach themselves to hulls and propellers.

Goose barnacles have a hard exoskeleton that covers their body and is covered in tiny spines. They are able to survive in harsh environments and thrive in cold waters.

Their diet consists mainly of algae and plankton. They use their claws to cling to rocks and shells. When they find a suitable place to settle down, they release eggs that hatch after about two weeks.
