Description: Article by Wim van Egmond on the life cycle and development of the barnacle with several interesting photographs.
Visiting a tide pool is always a wonderful experience. Living in this zone between land and water is continues struggle against the forces of the ocean. One of the most interesting inhabitants of the tidal area is the barnacle. It lives in the upper zone where the water only comes at high tide. The barnacle's appearance is rather deceptive. At first glance it looks like a mollusk. It has a white shell made of calcium carbonate. But when you observe the larva of the barnacle their true nature becomes visible.
