Whale barnacle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a whale barnacle (Coronula sp.). Barnacles are sessile marine crustaceans that attach themselves to solid structures,such as piers,or large marine animals,such as whales,using a strong stalk. Whale barnacles typically attach themselves to the bodies of baleen whales during the barnacles' free-swimming larval stage. Magnification: x10,when printed 10 centimetres wide | |
