[edit]I find the claim that this is largest barnacle in the world a bit dubious. The article cited is a secondary source which itself does not cite any primary research or data on barnacle sizes. Looking through Morris et al.'s Intertidal Invertebrates of California, B. aquila (currently Menesiniella aquila) is listed as having a max diameter if 130 mm, while B. nubilus is listed as maxing out at 110 mm, and that's just in California.
