Balanus nubilus , commonly called the giant acorn barnacle , is the world's largest barnacle , reaching a diameter of 15 cm (6 in ) and a height of up to 30 cm (12 in ),[3] and containing the largest known muscle fibres .[4] [5]
Balanus nubilus is a northeast Pacific species that ranges from southern Alaska to Baja California .[6] It is frequently found growing on rocks, pier pilings and hard-shelled animals at depths of up to 90 m (300 ft ).[4] Like other acorn barnacles , B. nubilus is a filter feeder ; it, in turn, is sometimes eaten by sea otters ,[7] sea stars , crabs [8] and the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest .[9] Abandoned shells of B. nubilus are used by the crab Glebocarcinus oregonensis for shelter.[10]
