    I got a rock covered in barnacles from tbsaltwater.com, I ordered a piece of liverock and just got lucky though. I'm not sure if you could request a rock with lots of barnacles or not.

    Barnacle blennies actually don't live with a live barnacle (at least i don't think so) - I had a couple of these a few years back and they use empty barnacle shells for shelter and usually only come out when food is present so getting live barnacles for a barnacle blenny would be pointless I would think.

    Hi Do you remember where you saw to buy live barnacles? I need them for a study that I am doing.
