Hey Joey, I live in magnolia and frequent your blog. Found a create washed up on south beach in Martha’s Vineyard with some strange looking creatures that appear to have made a home on the top of the lid. Posted to Facebook to see if anybody could tell me what they were… No luck. Figured if anybody could identify them it would be you or one of the faithful GMG followers. I would love to get some closure to this mystery.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Suggest you call NE Aquarium and send them pic. Let us know what they are !

They are gooseneck barnacles also known as stalked barnacles. Most likely Lepas anatifera but can’t say for sure.

Depending on their size which is hard to determine from this video, you may be looking at gooseneck barnacles.
