Chamaesipho brunnea
The brown surf barnacle (Chamaesipho brunnea) is usually found intermixed with the sheet barnacle in loose formations. Its lid consists of four parts, separated by one straight line and a wobbly one, as if it is smiling. The sides of the column widen towards where it is attached. It's a very common barnacle species, spotted at Houghton bay, Wellington NZ.
