Animals like Waders often stay around the water. They could peck around the barnacles this causes the barnacles to decrease in population. Changes in the temperature do not react to this temperature change but if a gooseneck barnacle is somehow migrated to the water on a humpback whale this will affect its life cycle it lose its purpose and die.

Goose barnacles, also called stalked barnacles or gooseneck barnacles, are filter-feeding crustaceans that live attached to hard surfaces of rocks and flotsam in the ocean intertidal zone.

`Barnacle can be pink, yellow, orange, green, brown or covered with stripes.
`Barnacle does not have heart and gills. It breathes through the body wall and via feathery appendages called cirri.
`Barnacles are hermaphrodites (they possess both types of reproductive organs)
`Besides for rocks, shells and boats, barnacle can be also seen glued for the body of whales, turtles, crabs and other sea creatures.
`Barnacle is an omnivore. Its diet is based on plankton and algae.

Plankton is obviously the favorite diet of barnacles. Barnacles usually love to feed on the food particles straining out of the water. Normally, barnacles feed on phytoplankton and zooplankton, microscopic plants and animals in the water

Well, barnacles are known to be one of the laziest creatures of this planet. Barnacles don’t even move for the majority of their life span. They just remain attached to rocks, ships, marine animals or some harder surface. Barnacles have a very deceptive appearance. So, at a glance you’ll surely identify them as molluscs. Another interesting fact about barnacles is that they stand on its head.

# data[].attributes.body
Barnacles can produce both male and female reproductive cells, sperm and eggs for which they are called hermaphrodite. This characteristic makes them eligible to reproduce even without mating and self-fertilize their eggs. However, the eggs produced by one barnacle are usually fertilized by another barnacle. The Barnacle larvae usually take 6 months to grow into the hardier adult barnacles.

Barnacles are subject to many predators. Usually barnacles face lots of risks and dangers during their early age. Worms, oil spills, shorebirds, snails, sea stars etc are the most common predators of Barnacles. Even human beings are found to eat barnacles, especially the goose barnacles.

All the barnacles have a common behavior of getting attached firmly to rocks, ships and other objects in the sea. In larvae stage, they disperse widely to colonize new surfaces and habitats. On the other hand, the behavior of adults limited. They mostly have emphasis on feeding actions, respiratory and feeding rhythms, protective withdrawal, and closure mating and brooding.

Barnacles have really simple life cycle and lifestyle. Barnacles reproduce sexually. The eggs produced by barnacles fertilize into nauplius larvae which gradually takes 6 months and more to develop into adult barnacles. Usually their life cycle completes in three stages: Nauplius, Cyprid and Adult Stage.

adaptation one - hydrodynamic shell. The shell shape allows waves to wash easily over it so that it isn't displaced.

adaptation two - ability to create a vacuum within its shell and under its foot. This allows the thing to 'stick' to the rocks and also maintain moisture when exposed.

adaptation three - extended temperature tolerance. Intertidal pools have large fluctuations in water temperature and times out of the water is hotter still.

Usually, barnacles are found in hard surfaces like boat hulls, rocks, jetty piles and even on the body of other marine animals like turtles and whales.

Barnacles have shells of connected overlapping plates along with jointed legs. They possess a quite slender and wispy feet. Barnacles are animals with distinct hard outer cover. Barnacles have a rather deceptive appearance. At first site it really looks like a mollusk. Their true appearance becomes visible only when you observe the larva of the barnacle.

A barnacle is a type of arthropod constituting the infraclass Cirripedia (scientific name) in the subphylum Crustacea, and is hence related to crabs and lobsters.

# data[].attributes.body
Barnacles are often seen on crabs, whales, boats, rocks and on the shells of sea turtles. Although some species of barnacle are parasitic, most barnacle species are harmless, because they are filter feeders and do not interfere with an animal's normal diet and do not harm that animal that they live on in any way.
