Lepas gogolevi [Lepas (Lepas) gogolevi]
Description
This species of goose barnacle is typically encountered on drifting material, making it a fun find for divers who explore areas with floating debris. Its conical shell and stalk can be visible from below, and the cirri may extend outward when the animal is actively feeding. Divers often describe the movement as delicate and “fan-like,” driven by the water current.
