Barnacle covered boulders. Barnacles are arthropods,they undergo two larval stages in their life cycle. firstly as nauplius larvae they are free-floating until their second larval stage as swimming cyprids. They become juvenile barnacles once cemented to rocks or man-made structures,where they will spend the rest of their lives. The adult form filters food from the water.
