RMG16EEW–Sacculina is a genus of barnacles that is a parasitic castrator of crabs. They are recognized as barnacles because their larval forms are like other members of the barnacle class Cirripedia. The female Sacculina larva finds a crab and walks on it until it

The animal appears to be in an arrested state of dcAelopment, and so retains some of the characteristics of the Cypris larvae, but it is very doubtful how far these characters can be considered primit

General Characteristics.—The Cirripeds (curl-footed) in their early stages have eyes, antennae, and limbs. After swimming about for a while they attach themselves to any solid substance, the eyes become rudimentary and the antennae obsolete. The thoracic feet by constant motion create currents of water which float food to the animal's mouth. Balanidae,—The Acorn Barnacle is sessile, the shell.

They are enclosed within the cavity formed *by the white looking shell, which, however, in Nature is occasionally coloured with a blue and even purple tint. When a sessile barnacle is examined—and they can readily be kept in the aquarium—the cirri will be seen to project through a trap-door apparatus called the '' operculum," or lid of the shell. The shell is made up of five or more side pieces connected tog

If we examine the hard slceleton of one of these animals, we find that, unlike the Pedunculata, they possess no stalk, the capitulum being fused on to the surface of attachment by a broad basal disc. Typically, there may be considered to be eight skeletal pieces forming the outer ring which invests the soft parts of the animal, an unpaired rostrum and carina, and laterally a pair of rostro - lateral, lateral, and carino-lateral "
