acabgd Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Noticed there's a filter feeder living on my snail. I vaguely remember seeing a crab with a similar feeding "tentacles". Can anyone identify it? (video was not sped up, this is the original speed) 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Joevember Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's a barnacle. Cool fan filter feeder. 2 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 That is definitely a barnacle @acabgd! It looks pretty crazy on that snail shell, there is something very unsettling about seeing it eat 😵. It kind of looks like lips and a tongue 🤣. Barnacles don't usually survive long term in captivity, as far as I know. It won't harm anything though. You might try directly feeding it? Definitely worth a google search 😄 2 Quote Link to comment
