Dosima fascicularis

Genus of barnacles

The buoy barnacle is a species of goose barnacle known for its unique characteristic of hanging downwards from a floating appendage which drifts at the water surface and is carried along by ocean currents. It is regarded as "the most specialised pleustonic goose barnacle" as most other barnacle species are sessile filter feeders that remain fixed onto other firm surfaces.
