Back in the 70s and 80s they were in all the LFSs I went to along with piles of coral skeletons. I wish I had held onto a few.

Barnacle shells are available on Amazon, also. I got some a few years ago. My blennies live in them.

Yes a great place for blennies and other small fish to hide, build nest and spawn in.

Maybe because there are 12,131 replies and the notification thing got burned out.

It's mostly goble d Gook so I'm sure you didn't miss much.

I hardly ever get notified usually have to go through posts

Turns out, my spam filter threshold on my server was cranked down to 1 instead of 4 so a whole bunch of stuff was going to spam....

We only go 3 or 4 times a year. We won't go for a couple of months now. They don't have a lot of these at a time and as they are scrapped of the bottom of boats. I would have thought they would be available in the USA etc.
Look here.

I live pretty much in central Canada I have certainly seen Barnacles but they were small and dark . I have never seen them for sale . By the way these worms you guys are talking about is there a source where I can get them , and learn how to raise them ?

Got my starter culture sometime ago off eBay UK. Lots of videos on how to cultivate them on YouTube.

That sir is not an American tank

I drove that tank during WW1. I hijacked it from the enemy.

Those gooseneck barnacles are very common here in Florida Gift shops.

My first blue devils spawned in them in 1972 or so.

Big Al's often have white worms. That's where I get mine.

Since I don’t have a PAR meter…

How much does surface agitation affect PAR? I assume given reflection and refraction angles it must have a noticeable affect especially directly under the returns.

I have no idea.

I do know that my Grand Daughter, (On the right) is going to break a lot of hearts.

Americas next supermodel!!!
(Might need to grow a bit taller)?

 

[Paul B]

She's only 13, so still growing.

 

[MikeyZo]

Does she have your same wit and storytelling ability?

 

[Freenow54]

Can we assume you are doing everything in your power to stop her from being inoculated against everything ?

I don't think so, but think my Grand Son Teddy may.
She's a Girly Girl.

We try but she is growing up in Manhattan where everyone is weird and totally against everything we believe in.

My wife's cousin believes you should make them go outside where they will eat some dirt to build an immune system. But I think that ship has sailed unless you can get her to ride with Terry

Ugh NYC is the worst when it comes to going against everything we believe in
