Barnacles are also called "dog teeth" because of their shape points, which turns out to be very sharp.
They are small animals that encrust the rocks, the pilings of the docks in the ports or the submerged part of the ship; remember clams and they were confused until 1829 when Vaughan Thompson did extensive research that showed some differences (as in the case of larvae that can to swim free in the water).
