In the coldwater megareefs, the most numerous of the reefbuilders are the barnacles. They make up 61% of the reefbuilders within that particular type of region. The bivalves are a distant second at 23%, with the worms at only five percent and the sponges at four percent.

Compared to our barnacles, the only fundamental difference is in the size. Living in cold water is not good if you want to grow up fast, so the barnacles grow up pretty slowly. The chariot of Nodens averages in at a height of six feet, whereas the 20 or so species of rafflesia barnacles can reach to a width of 12 feet. But to find the really largest species of barnacle, we take yet another visit to Antarctica, the coldest waters on Great Lakes Earth and the home of the most ancient of the reefbuilders. The throne of Nyarlathotep averages in at 12 feet in height, and a specimen has been measured to be up to a thousand years old!
