Acorn Barnacle
Acorn barnacle and acorn shell are Common name, vernacular names for certain types of stalkless barnacles, generally excluding goose barnacles, stalked or gooseneck barnacles. As adults they are typically cone-shaped, symmetrical, and attached to rocks or other fixed objects in the ocean. Members of the barnacle order (taxonomy), order Balanomorpha are often called acorn barnacles. In addition, several species of barnacles are specifically called by the common name "acorn barnacle", including: * ''Balanus glandula'', Common Acorn Barnacle * ''Balanus nubilus'', Giant Acorn Barnacle * ''Chthamalus antennatus'', Acorn Barnacle * ''Megabalanus coccopoma'', Titan Acorn Barnacle * ''Megabalanus tintinnabulum'', Titan Acorn Barnacle * ''Paraconcavus pacificus'', Red-striped Acorn Barnacle * ''Semibalanus balanoides'', Northern Acorn Barnacle References {{Animal common name Animal common names ...

Barnacles
A barnacle is a type of arthropod constituting the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea, and is hence related to crabs and lobsters. Barnacles are exclusively marine, and tend to live in shallow and tidal waters, typically in erosive settings. They are sessile (nonmobile) and most are suspension feeders, but those in infraclass Rhizocephala are highly specialized parasites on crustaceans. They have four nektonic (active swimming) larval stages. Around 1,000 barnacle species are currently known. The name is Latin, meaning "curl-footed". The study of barnacles is called cirripedology. Description Barnacles are encrusters, attaching themselves temporarily to a hard substrate or a symbiont such as a whale ( whale barnacles), a sea snake ('' Platylepas ophiophila''), or another crustacean, like a crab or a lobster (Rhizocephala). The most common among them, "acorn barnacles" ( Sessilia), are sessile where they grow their shells directly onto the substrate. Pedunculate ...

Chthamaloidea
The Chthamaloidea are a subdivision of Balanomorpha proposed by Newman and Ross to include barnacles with shell wall composed of rostrum, carina, and one to three pairs of latera, rarely supplemented with one or more whorls of basal imbricating plates. The rostrolatus enters the sheath, but rarely fuses with the rostrum, as in the three higher superfamilies. Shell plates are simple in construction, solid, and incorporate organic chitin between carbonate layers. Opercular plates are deeply interlocked, and in some genera, may become concrescent with age. Soft part morphology includes concave labrum without notch in the central part. Cirrus III more resembles Cirrus IV than II, or may be intermediate in structure. Caudal appendages present in some species. Environmental preferences and distribution All living Chthamaloidea, and very sparsely known fossil occurrences inhabit surf zone/intertidal/subtidal littoral zone habitats. Geographically, chthamaloids may be found in all t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
