an exuvia from a barnacle

Post by Franz Neidl »

The barnacles are filter feeding crustaceans. You see in my picture an exuvia from an adult animal (exuviae = remains from the exoskeleton after the animal has moulted).
About barnacles see http://a-z-animals.com/animals/barnacle/

Obj. 4x, brightfield, sea plankton
