Barnacles! Yes, this is a barnacle. Difficult to believe I know, but barnacles are actually crustaceans (like crabs and lobsters) and start out just like they do, including this nauplius stage. You can tell it’s a barnacle nauplius due to its horns! It has a few more stages to go through before it settles.

Crustacean nauplius. A fair few of these from my Blakeney Quay sample.

I was delighted to see a barnacle nauplius in my Great Yarmouth sample. And even more pleased it stop moshing for a few seconds so I could snap its pic! Does anyone know what species of barnacle? I’ve had a go at ID, but this is new area for me so not confident.
