why were barnacles invented? wouldn't the sea be better without them? though i have to admit they are satisfying to scrap and decent to eat

It's a food source for a handful of sea creatures but yeah, they're gross looking parasites that fuck over a couple of whales, turtles, mollusks and crustaceans. All of them would benefit without these things.

>fucks over whales
You mean grow into barnacle knuckles that whales use to club the shit out of enemies with? Seems pretty valuable to me.

Do barnacles not have a natural predator?

It used to have Auks and Penguins, but after their populations declined it's pretty much game over for most marine life.
Thanks Humans. You killed off everything.

If we keep hexapods as crustaceans, then they are some of the most successful things on the planet.

That's worms, barnacles burrow into your skin, latch on to the bone and subsist on your blood:
