What are barnacles? - NOAAs National Ocean Service Barnacles secrete hard calcium plates that completely encase them A white cone made up of six calcium plates forms a circle around the crustacean Four more plates form a "door" that the barnacle can open or close, depending on the tide When the tide goes out, the barnacle closes up shop to conserve moisture
Barnacles - Types, Anatomy, Reproduction, Diet, Lifecycle, Pictures Barnacles are exclusively marine organisms, preferring the intertidal zones of oceans and underwater volcanoes Around 75% of barnacle species are found in shallow waters at depths of less than 300 ft (100 m), while the remaining 25% inhabit intertidal zones Some species, however, have been observed at depths as great as 2,000 ft (600 m)
A Barnacle Attaches for Life (Yes, Theyre Living Crustaceans) When the tide comes in, the barnacle opens up, extending its feathery appendages — called cirri — to sweep plankton and detritus from the water These thoracic limbs act like tiny combs or fans, making barnacles efficient filter feeders
