	Balanus amphitrite
		The striped barnacle, Balanus amphitrite, is a medium-sized surface-fouling, sessile barnacle with distinct vertical bands of purple stripes on it's protective rigid housing plates, known as capitulum plates.
		Balanus amphitrite is a common, broadly distributed coastal and estuarine biofouling organism found on hard natural surfaces such as rocks, in oyster beds, red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) prop roots and mollusc shells.
		Balanus amphitrite occur alongside a number of different animal and algal taxa that comprise hard fouling intertidal communities, although none of these associations are likely to be obligate.

	Exotics Guide
		Balanus amphitrite is a common fouling barnacle in harbors, and there are many records of this species on the hulls of ships around the world.
		Balanus trigonus is a primarily subtidal barnacle that ranges from Monterey Bay to Peru, and has been introduced to some other parts of the world.
		Balanus amphitrite has been introduced to tropical to warm-temperate waters in many parts of the world, primarily as hull fouling although possibly also transported with oyster shipments or in ballast water.

		After allowing the simulation to run using the default values for a total of 10 weeks, two 8m x 8m areas in the lower 15m of the rock were cleared of all individuals; one of these areas was used as the experimental unit and the other served as a control.
		Virtually entire colonies of Balanus that were transplanted to the upper half of the rock (in the absence of Chthamalus) died, usually within one or two days.
		In preying primarily upon Balanus (which is a better competitor for space than Chthamalus), Chthamalus is freed from intense competition for space and is able to persist not in the intertidal, but in the subtidal as well.
