What is another word for Cirriped?
Pronunciation: [sˈɜːɹa͡ɪpt] (IPA) 
Cirriped is a term used in biology to describe barnacles, a class of marine invertebrates that attach themselves to surfaces and filter food from the surrounding water. Synonyms for cirriped include crustacean, sessile crustacean, acorn barnacle, and goose barnacle. Acorn barnacles have a conical or pyramid-shaped shell and are found in large clusters on rocky surfaces in intertidal zones. Goose barnacles have a softer, more fleshy body and attach themselves to floating objects, such as driftwood and plastic debris. Sessile crustacean is a more general term used to describe any crustacean that is permanently attached to a surface and cannot move freely.
