- O They are considered plant parasites. Barnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean. Barnacle larvae are motile and secrete a sticky substance that allows them to attach to a suitable substrate. As they mature into sedentary adults, they secrete layers of calcium carbonate that serve as a protective covering. Some barnacles have been known to attach to the sides of whales. This benefits the barnacles in that they are constantly transported to locations with new sources of food. The whes neither benefit nor are harmed by the presence of barnacles.
