Laqueus vancouveriensis in Knight Inlet at a depth of 10 m [50°40.052'N, 126°00.557'W] British Columbia (Canada):
a large barnacle that had settled on and completely overgrown the valve of a Laqueus specimen and which reach a large size (up to 3 cm). The barnacle “moved” as the brachiopod swivelled on its pedicle.
