What is another word for goose barnacle?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈuːs bˈɑːnəkə͡l] (IPA) 
Goose barnacles are fascinating creatures that live in the ocean and attach themselves to rocks, logs, and even drifting boats. They are also known by several other names such as the stalked barnacle, goose-neck barnacle, or the devil's toenail. Their long, white stalks resemble the curved neck of a goose, hence the name goose barnacle. In Spain and Portugal, they are a delicacy known as percebes, which translates to "barnacle" in English. Interestingly, these creatures are not actually barnacles at all, but have a more complex structure that sets them apart from true barnacles. Regardless of their name, goose barnacles remain a fascinating and unique ocean creature.
