Found loads of these alien creatures on west coast of Ireland . Someone suggested goose barnacles which sounds plausable to me .
Is this correct, what do you think ?

Goose barnacles without doubt - not uncommon after a bit of a blow out at sea. They normally live clinging to buoys and floating objects.

An interesting collection of seashore life here.
Inspires me to keep my eyes peeled whilst next walking along the shoreline.

hi malcolm,
this image makes me think we must have a very rich ocean ecosystem out there that is probably mostly too murky to make any sense of with underwater gear, but this image is an interesting glimpse nontheless.
