Re: What on Earth......? Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset

Strangely enough, County Kerry is the only place I've ever come across them. Came across a buoy that someone had dragged out on a remote slipway and it was covered with them.

It might appear that they attach themselves to floating objects for a life near the surface rather than at depth like the common Barnacle.
