no cuz they got some weird adaptation against them.
the barnacle live only on the whale.The type of symbiotic relationship between barnacles and whale is commensalism as they neither benefit nor harm the whale on which they live.
The barnacle gets free food and a free ride and the whale is not harmed by the barnacle but does not benefit ether from the relationship. therefore the relationship between the Grey Whale and the barnacle is a perfect example of commensalism.

Mutualism
the ocean
a whale because it helps the whale to extract the water and nutrients.
commensalism == the barnacle living on the whales back gains safety and protection where as the whales does not either gain or lose anything from the relationship
Yes, barnacles can attach themselves to whales, creating a unique symbiotic relationship. This attachment provides the barnacles with a mobile habitat, allowing them to access nutrient-rich waters as the whale swims. While the barnacles benefit from this arrangement, it generally does not harm the whale; however, excessive barnacle growth can potentially cause some drag or discomfort.

Vilatism
An example of commensalism is the relationship between barnacles and Humpback whales. The barnacles cling on too the whale and are carried to rich feeding grounds (So the barnacles benefit)and the whales are not affected by the barnacles.
