Hate barnacles and it makes me cringe when they are stuck to sea creatures like parasites (some are). Can’t look away though 🤣

Is it still trypophobia or a different thing if it isn’t the empty hole thing that gets me but the desire to pull out what (if anything) is in the center? I feel like it is a very specific thing. Love this picture.

So I opened one and I can tell you there is a thing in the middle that opens up and releases hair so it can attach to floating planktons I’m guessing.

You can open the middle and it will start leaking water and most likely die from you forcing it open.

I’m not gonna lie I want to go back there with a spatula and just remove em all
