Poli's stellate barnacle (Chthamalus stellatus) is a species of acorn barnacle common on rocky shores in South West England, Ireland, and Southern Europe. It is named after Italian scientist Giuseppe Saverio Poli. Depending upon environmental conditions and the amount of food available, it can reach up to 14 mm (0.55 in) in diameter.Photo: Michael Maggs
- Hello. All the barnacles on the picture belong actually to Chthamalus montagui, not to C. stellatus. --Jymm (talk) 18:53, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
