Quiza tengas razon, improvisus parece más rombico.
Es dificil encontrar buena información sobre estos bichos.
Tengo que indagar un poco mas.
Gracias

Yo he leído por ahí que el Balanus trigonus o de tres filos, es porque tiene la abertura triangular, por eso pienso que es éste.

Qué casualidad, yo también he subido el mismo "Balanus trigonus" la semana pasada. Vino a mi casa con los mejillones y pude hacerle fotos y vídeo tranquilamente:
