That species of barnacle only grows in the sea. So that means they only grow only floating objects. However, they only grow below the water line on those floating objects. There's usually a clear water line above which they don't grow, as shown in a few pictures here:

Quote:Pelagic - definition of pelagic by The Free Dictionary
www.thefreedictionary.com/pelagic

ic. (pə-lăj′ĭk) adj. Of, relating to, or living in open oceans or seas rather than waters adjacent to land or inland waters:

That's why they are called "pelagic" barnacles, because they don't grow on the shore, or above the water line.
