although they are different species - barnacles are arthropods and limpets gastropods they share common environments and also attach themselves to their "home" a in similar manner.
They are both invertebrates and live in the ocean.
They grow.
Barnacles live only in salt water.
herbivore
No limpets are not omnivores, how is that? here is the explanation on how to work it out which is called cleverness. 1) Type in the question 2) If the answer is there check it with a parent and on Google if the answer is not on research your answer then answer it on answers.com Do you know what the definitions on limpets are??? Limpets are a name for a saltwater or freshwater snails and snails are carnivores because they eat meat in the sea. :D
The main functions of the suckers on limpets is so they can secure themselves to rocks while underwater. They will suction to the rock to keep from moving with the current of the water.
Both crabs and barnacles have claws and also both shed their external skeleton, the limpets do not.

Sea creatures that attach themselves to rocks include shellfish such as limpets, mussels, oysters, barnacles.
yes dog whelks are carnivores and feed on barnacles as well as organisms such as limpets.
Barnacles are crustaceans, and therefore more closely related to crabs than to mollusks like limpets. The apparent similar morphology of barnacles and limpets is a result of convergent evolution. It does not necessarily require DNA (i.e., similar genotype) in order to produce similar phenotype (physical characteristics).
Barnacles don't move once they settle down as a tiny larvae on their chosen surface. Limpets can move around on their broad foot. Some limpets have holes at the top of the hard shell, others do not. The hole is not closed by plates.
Yes sea stars are predators, because they eat barnacles, chitin's, snails, urchins, limpets, sponges and sea anemones, and that's what makes them predators.
When young, the live on plankton. As adults, they live on mussels. They also feed on chitons, limpets, snails, barnacles and decapod crustacea such as crayfish, crabs, lobsters, prawns and shrimp.

Barnacles and Crabs are both Crustaceans, while limpets are Molluscs - so I would assume that a barnacle's DNA would be more similar to a crab's.
