A barnacle is a small sea animal that lives in water close to the shore. Like crabs and lobsters, barnacles grow a shell around their bodies. When a barnacle is an adult, it attaches its shell to rocks, the bottom of boats, or other hard surfaces.
When my brother and I swam in the ocean last summer, we saw big rocks covered with barnacles!
