Balanus nubilus, commonly called the giant acorn barnacle, is the world's largest barnacle, reaching a diameter of Шаблон:Cvt and a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt,[1] and containing the largest known muscle fibres.[2][3]

Balanus nubilus is a northeast Pacific species that ranges from southern Alaska to Baja California.[4] It is frequently found growing on rocks, pier pilings and hard-shelled animals at depths of up to Шаблон:Cvt.[2] Like other acorn barnacles, B. nubilus is a filter feeder; it, in turn, is sometimes eaten by sea otters,[5] sea stars, crabs[6] and the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest.[7] Abandoned shells of B. nubilus are used by the crab Glebocarcinus oregonensis for shelter.[8]
