I had never been served crab legs with barnacles.... until today. According to our server at Red Lobster they are "harmless" and don't compromise the flavor... which made no difference to me as they looked DISGUSTING and I immediately lost my appetite for crab. It at the very least did not look palatable and I am shocked that they were okay with serving a plate full of these critters! It really gave me the heebie jeebies and I won't be eating crab or at Red Lobster anytime soon!

Yes, the crab uses the barnacles as protection and sometimes camoflauge
Would a barnacle's DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet?
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.

Would a barnacles DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet?
Since crabs and barnacles belong to the same evolutionary lineage, one would expect their DNA to be more similar. However, convergent evolution could result in homoplasies that would cause a barnacle to have DNA more similar to that of a limpet than a crab.
What is the symbiotic relationship between a barnacles and crab?
Barnacles on a crab's shell improve its toughness, while the barnacles (normally lacking motility) are able to visit more than one location to obtain food, and may even feed on the crab's prey. Some barnacles, however, can cause damage or sterility in some species of crabs.

Would a barnacle's DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet Explain?
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).
