The Balanidae is also called "horse teeth," because its shape resembles horse teeth somewhat. What impressed Ning Xiaoxian the most about it is that although it looks like a shell, it's actually not a shellfish, but an arthropod. It's in the same class as shrimp and crabs. These creatures are abundantly found on seaside rocks, the underside of large ships, and even on whales. They stick with such tenacity that when their numbers increase, they slow the ships down. Thus, every time a large ship docks, the sailors have to go under the ship to clean them off.
