A mysterious creature horrified holidaymakers after it washed up on a beach
on the Gower Peninsula in Wales. The writhing mass of tentacles, which
measured at least 6ft from end to end. The barnacles – long writhing stalks
or pendulates, tipped with shells – are normally found deep below the waves,
but were washed up clinging to a log. This barnacle may look like a mollusc
but it is in fact a crustacean related to shrimps, lobsters and crabs. The
goose barnacle or percebe thrives at the ocean’s foamy edge. Slammed by
boiling sea waves, laved in saline by constant saltwater surf, the percebe
thrives clinging to wave-lashed crags of the sea, to coastal rocks in narrow
inlets called ‘surge channels’ up which the ocean thrusts oxygen-rich waves
tumbling and roiling to wash over the barnacle colonies, thus providing tiny
planktonic food to be caught by the winnowing fan-like legs poking out and
up from the barnacle. Barnacles attach themselves to rocks by their “heads”
and feed by means of their feathery “legs.”
