This colony of Goose-Necked Barnacles had maybe 100 animals. The entire colony was about one foot across, a little bigger than a basketball. The colony is also tangled with long green blades of Surf Grass, a common seaweed. Goose-Necked Barnacles have white shells that cover their bodies. Goose-Necked Barnacles are distant relatives of crabs.
Crabs also have similar kinds of shells that cover their bodies.
