One fun fact about barnacles is that Darwin studied them for a number of years after one of his close friends suggested that he should know extensively about the biology of at least one group of species to be more sure about the conclusions he was drawing for what became On the Origin of Species.

[@chitinskin9860]

Crabs don't need the parasites to do that "dance", uninfected crabs typically do the same motions whenever their own eggs start to hatch, they need to dislodge them somehow and spazzing out is their best option, without it the babies would be stuck, so you probably would find looking at a crab spawning session in general equally as terrifying.

Acorn barnacles used to be very prevalent on oil platforms in the gulf of mexico. In the areas where the water is crystal clear blue an invasive species called orange cup coral has taken over and choked out the barnacles in all but the shallower waters. This has caused a fish called the blennie to thin out and be replaced by other fishes. The blennie survived by hiding in the empty barnacle shells. The cup corals grow on top of everything and covered their homes. This has happened within the last 27 years that I have been a commercial diver.
