It has six legs
An Arthropod has 8 legs as well as an Arachnid.

A man (2 legs) sat on three legs (a 3 legged stool), 4 legs (dog) jumped on 2 legs (man), 2 legs (man) got mad and threw 3 legs (stool) at 4 legs (dog). There are many variations of this.
Barnacles and oysters do not have conspicuous legs. Perhaps these species evolved away from having legs?
Not really; even in arthopods seemingly having no legs, they're conceiled. A few examples are water fleas and barnacles (legs inside the carapace, used for filtering food from water), and many larvae (structures are present and will emerge in the adult).
Yes, barnacles are filter feeders. They use their feathery legs to capture tiny particles in the water, such as plankton, and then bring them to their mouth to eat. This is how they obtain nutrients to survive.
Some fish that eat barnacles include triggerfish, wrasses, and some species of gobies. These fish feed on barnacles by picking at their shells or scraping them off rocks. Barnacles are an important food source for many marine organisms.
Barnacles are filter feeders, which means they primarily feed on plankton by using their feathery legs to capture food particles from the water. They extend these legs through their shells and wait for passing currents to bring in food.
Barnacles feed by opening their hinged centers and waving their leaf-like legs through the water. Their legs act as a filter that draws food into the soft body inside the shell, where it is digested.
They aren't symbiotic : the barnacles (crustaceans related to crabs) are parasites on the whale's skin, and will also attach to boats, docks, and other marine locations.
Yes. Arthropods are animals that have- during at least one stage in their life- segmented bodies, jointed legs, and an external skeleton called an exoskeleton. All crustaceans have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and exoskeletons. Some crustaceans like barnacles do not appear to have legs or body segments. However, these features can be seen on barnacle larvae. These are barnacles that are not yet adults and have not attached themselves to anything yet. Legs and body segments disappear from adult barnacles because they are not needed. The barnacle is still considered an arthropod because the features that define arthropods can be seen on it during part of its life.
Barnacles are crustaceans( a type of arthropods)
commensalism
Yes, "as rough as the barnacles" is a simile. It compares the roughness of something to the rough texture of barnacles using the word "as."
The groups, or classes, within the phylum of the Arthropoda are Hexapoda (insects and a few others), Chelicerata (scorpions, spiders and some others), Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, barnacles, krill, loads of other things) and Myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes). Basically six legs, eight legs, ten legs, lots of legs.
