    Sacculina is a genus of barnacles that is a parasitic castrator of crabs. They belong to a group called Rhizocephala. The adults bear no resemblance to the barnacles that cover ships and piers; they are recognised as barnacles because their larval forms are like other members of the barnacle class Cirripedia.

    To interrogate UK data visit the NBN Atlas. Sacculina carcini belongs to the group of parasitic barnacles known as the Rhizocephala, a bizarre group only recognisable as being barnacles by their cyprid larvae. As adults they have no hard external shell or limbs.
    Sacculina carcini is an internal parasite of swimming crabs, characterised by a cream-brownish, oval externa. The mantle opening is slightly raised, small and placed almost opposite the stalk. The externa, reaching 2.5 cm in width, protudes from underneath the abdomen of the host.
    Sacculina has been suggested to be used as a type of biological control agent to help reduce the populations of the invasive green crab. This is controversial because Sacculina can also use native crab species as their host and there would be no way to control or stop them from attacking native species.
