Hidden Lives
Life is everywhere…one just has to stop and look. You find the weirdest creatures in and around the oceans…all minding their own Business; having no idea that they are marooned on a beach and that the tide has left them there. We did, however, place them back in the ocean, a second chance at being surrounded by the forceful and nurturing oceans’ water.
We Finally had a very clever person telling us WHAT these little creatures are…they are about 30mm in length…and reminded me of some alien movie playing off in front of my eyes 🙂
Cirripede, Goose barnacles (Lepas anatifera): Lepas anatifera, commonly known as the pelagic gooseneck barnacle or smooth gooseneck barnacle, is a species of barnacle in the family Lepadidae. These barnacles are found, often in large numbers, attached by their flexible stalks to floating timber, the hulls of ships, piers, pilings, seaweed and various sorts of flotsam. The body or capitulum of Lepas anatifera is supported by a long, flexible stalk or peduncle. There are five smooth, translucent plates, edged with scarlet and separated by narrow gaps. The plates have growth lines parallel with their margins and a few faint radial sculpture lines. Inside the capitulum, the barnacle has a head and thorax and vestigial abdomen. A number of brown, filamentous cirri or feeding tentacles project from between the plates. The peduncle is tough and a purplish-brown colour. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepas_a…)
