They are the acorn and gooseneck barnacles (Thoracica), the tiny Acrothoracica, and two parasitic groups, the Rhizocephala and Ascothoracica.
Acorn barnacles (Thoracica) are the rough white barnacles seen on rocks in the intertidal all over the world.
Both the Thoracica and Acrothoracica are suspension feeders that filter particles and small organisms out of the water with their cirri (modified thoracic appendages).
