Barnacle adults are sessile; most are suspension feeders with hard calcareous shells, but the Rhizocephala are specialized parasites of other crustaceans, with reduced bodies. Barnacles have existed since at least the mid-Carboniferous, some 325 million years ago. In folklore, barnacle geese were once held to emerge fully formed from goose ...
The adult barnacle bears no resemblance to an acorn barnacle, but the larval development is typical of a barnacle, with four nauplius larval stages and one cyprid larval stage. [2] The female cyprid larva of L. panopaei has a spear-like stylet.

A dwarf male is sometimes found attached to the mantle or wall of a female's burrow. The developing larva may omit the nauplius stage, which is always non-feeding (lecithotrophic), [6] but always has a cyprid stage. This has chitinous teeth which are used after the larva has settled to abrade the surface and commence a burrow. [4]
The female cypris larva in Kentrogonida settles on a host and metamorphoses into a specialized juvenile form, a kentrogon. This has no visible segmentation and no appendages except the antennules . These are used to attach the larva to the host; their only purpose is to inject a cell mass, the vermigon , into the host's hemolymph through a ...
The genus name Nauplius was published posthumously by Otto Friedrich Müller in 1785 for animals now known to be the larvae of copepods. The nauplius stage (plural: nauplii) is characterised by consisting of only three head segments, which are covered by a single carapace. The posterior body, when present, is unsegmented.

It follows the nauplius stage and precedes the post-larva. Zoea larvae swim with their thoracic appendages, as opposed to nauplii, which use cephalic appendages, and megalopa, which use abdominal appendages for swimming. It often has spikes on its carapace, which may assist these small organisms in maintaining directional swimming. [36]
