Has anyone had any experience growing barnacles. Just curious I
I have a place in port oconner and was thinking of collecting a few to try.

I don't think I have ever heard a question on growing Barnacles? Like everything else that comes from the coast I would set up a QT tank and see how it goes for a few months before placing it in a display tank. I love Port Oconner, you never know what you will catch or see.

When I was first setting up one of my tanks I threw a small stick in it that we found at the beach which had half a dozen or so goose barnacles that look like a small clam attached to it. They are very cool to watch filter and lived for probably about 2 months but gradually extended less and less until they perished. I bet some reefroids or coral frenzy would keep those little guys happy though. Back then I had no idea.. It would be very neat to have them through out a tank.
