A New York Post quoted experts noted that the users were right in identifying the strange creature. "Probably Lepas anatifera," Wilma Blom, marine invertebrate curator at Auckland Museum, told the outlet.
For those unaware, the alien-like creature is a species of barnacle in the family Lepadidae.
"They are eaten, particularly by Mediterranean cultures. However, I have never eaten them myself," Wilma Blom further said.
A Department of Conversation spokesperson told Stuff they were reasonably common around New Zealand. Fox Weather said each log appendage is a separate animal. The fleshy stalk or peduncle grows between 1.5 and 30 inches long and attaches to floating debris.
At the end of the stalk is the capitulum, which is the body covered by shell plates, as per Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
