Acorn Barnacle

Balanus glandula

Description:

I'm assuming these are barnacles. I spotted these things on a lobster at a tank in an Asian market in Carrollton, TX a few years ago and had to snap a photo. I have video somewhere - when I find it, I will add it. There are tongue-like projections that jut out of the openings of these things. Creepy.
