== Biology == [[File:Gooseneckbarnacles.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|''[[Lepas anatifera]]'' in [[Thailand]]]] [[File:Goose Barnacles in a cave south of Cannon Beach, Oregon, Aug 2016.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|Gooseneck barnacles reaching down from the top of a tidal cave in Oregon]] Some species of goose barnacles such as ''[[Lepas anatifera]]'' are [[pelagic]] and are most frequently found on [[:wikt:tidewrack|tidewrack]] on oceanic coasts. Unlike most other types of [[barnacles]], intertidal goose barnacles (e.g. ''[[Pollicipes pollicipes]]'' and ''[[Pollicipes polymerus]]'') depend on water motion rather than the movement of their [[cirrus (biology)|cirri]] for feeding, so are found only on exposed or moderately exposed coasts.
