The barnacle is in infraclass Cirripedia. Cirripedia is derived from Latin and means "Joint Footed".[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnacles] If you don't know much about barnacles then you should know that they are a sessile, filter feeding animal covered in calcereous plates that stick to surfaces such as rocks or ships.[http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/crustacea/othercrust/ciriipedia/cirripedia.htm] They are in the same family as crabs and lobsters, and they are very hard to remove from the surfaces they are attached to. Sailors regard them as a major problem because when vast quantities attach themselves to ships it creates a major problem for both the sailors and the boat. However sailors can cover the boat in a copper bottom oxide that keeps the larval stage of barnacles away from the boat.

Barnacles also have two antennules that secrete a cement-like glue that they use to attach themselves to rocks, boats ,and many other surfaces. The glue is secreted by cement glands located inside of the barnacle.[http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/infosheets/how-do-barnacles-cement-themselves-to-rocks/] | Barnacles also have two antennules that secrete a cement-like glue that they use to attach themselves to rocks, boats ,and many other surfaces.
