Being autistic is weird because I think I'd be entirely entirely immune to the maddening effects of witnessing an Elder God but learning that barnacles are arthropods rather than molluscs nearly gave me an existential crisis

Every year or two I open Spore and get completely absorbed by it for a month or so, and this month is now. Which means I'm turning one of my creature into some more detailed design.

Civilization of... Uhhh... Red space barnacle slug things.

My mom is in Vietnam and found these, pretty sure they're some sort of goose barnacle, but would love a confirmation or correction

Barnacles!

Hello, yes, yes, hello, these are definitely Gooseneck Barnacles (Lepas sp.), family Lepadidae. I do not think I can tell, from a photo, which species it is, but a distinct possibility is Lepas anserifera, which is common around the world, and is found off the coast of Viet Nam.
