Barnacle shells. In their second larval stage,barnacles attach to a safe,protected surface,such as a rock,and surround themselves with hard,armoured plates. When they reach their adult form,they grow by adding more material to the ends of these plates. Barnacles are classified as Cirripedia (meaning 'curl-footed'),an infraclass within the class Maxillopoda | |
