Coronula diadema Humpback Whale Barnacle
52.2 mm     North West Cape, WA     16,00 €
Item# 0003765234
FamilyOTHER
NameCoronula diadema - Humpback Whale Barnacle , Linnaeus, 1767
Size52.2 mm
LocalityNorth West Cape, WA
NoteTo the west of Coral Bay and Shark Bay we occasionally find these barnacles laying on the bottom. We have identified them as Coronula diadema a barnacle that is found on Hump Back Whales. This specimen was found in May 2025 laying on sand in 95 metres of water west of North West Cape. I believe that these are Antarctic species that cannot tolerate subtropical waters and are shed by whales when the shells die. We don't see many but every now and again we find a specimen laying on sand. A lost Traveler who has lost it's Ride !!!
