puttputt Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 barnicle shells. You find them washed up on northland beaches quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Thanks so much.. do people keep these things in their saltwater tanks at all, live of course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 i believe they would be quite difficult. due to the way barnacles feed on micronutrients washed in by the incoming tide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 What a shame, they are gorgeous Umm no I brought it along with some Sea Eggs and some other beautiful shells... The guy that sells them here at the market has an amazing selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 i got one of those in my tank - a dead one, but exactly the same :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooloo Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 At a local market Afrikan? i dont suppose i can be rude and ask if you can get me a couple? cant find them up here, couple of large shells as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Oh ok chimera.. they are pretty huh :lol: Mooloo - I could quite possibly get you some bits and pieces, would need to know what you are after? The guy has such a broad selection that it might pay for you to come up with some idea on what large shells you would like, and I can see if I can get some... and it is at a local market He only polishes them on a buffer, doesn't put anything on them, keeps them natural.
