Description
Giant acorn barnacle (Balanus nubilus) is the world's largest barnacle, making shells measuring up to an impressive 30 cm. It is frequently found on natural features (such as rock pilings) as well as artificial structures (such as piers), glued there for life with a kind of organic cement that is extremely difficult to dissolve.
