Barnacles are in the crustacean family. Barnacles have feelers or legs that catch food. They grab the food and suck it in. Barnacles stay in one place for their whole lives. They live on anything that is hard that they can attach to. Some barnacles attach themselves to whales.
Pelagic Goose Barnacle
This is me opening a goose barnacle, so you can see the feelers or legs.
Bay Barnacle
Amanda found this at Long Point Beach. This is a log with a bunch of barnacles on it.
