They are actually animals, not plants (just for those who didnt know).
Can we call those guys hunters then? Yes from me!

I'm not a fan of seafood but I've eaten percebes in Vigo and they're simply delicious.. if you're visiting Spain or Portugal and you find such things on the menu go ahead and try them, brilliant food..
Also, cool video!

percebes are expensive. one small can cost about $100 USD.
i would give it a shot. but on a less crazy cliff.

To bad they cut out all the wave impacts with the camera, like at 2:55
"percebes" are Goose barnacle

Not sure if it's the same kind as in Spain

200 Euros the kilogram? No way ? Last weekend me and my friends grab like 2 Kg with no effort at all, at the beach near my town and eaten them all. They are millions here. Thanks snort! Thanks to you I’ll start a business!

#17 Both can be right. For english it would be Goose barnacle. And the english wiki said:
In Portugal and Spain, they are a widely consumed and expensive delicacy known as percebes. Percebes are harvested commercially in the northern coast, mainly in Galicia, and are also imported from overseas, particularly from Morocco and Canada.
Perceves is more likely used in portoguese, but both writings are correct
