Acorn Barnacle Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I got an acorn barnacle! Will it grow into an oak barnacle?"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Do not mistake the acorn barnacle for a relative of the clam. Tut-tut, mollusks they are not.
Barnacles are cousins to crabs and lobsters, you see. Though the family resemblance is hard to spot.
Acorn barnacles may also seem to live a stationary life, what with being attached to rocks and such.
But truth be told, baby barnacles are avid travelers, drifting shell-less about the sea before settling down.
Once they find a good rock to affix themselves to, they float free no more. Which begs the question...
Do adult
acorn barnacles ever look out across open sea...and long for youthful adventure once more?**
