Pelagic Goose Neck Barnacle

Lepas anatifera

Description:

Long fleashy necked barnacle with a pretty shell at the head.

Habitat:

Floating on pretty much anything in the ocean. Prefers warmer climates but has been seen anywhere its floation device will take it. These were on a giant piece of styrofoam well out of their comfort zone!

Notes:

Edible. http://clovegarden.com/ingred/seabarn.ht...
