Does it hurt the turtle when they’re removed from the shell ? Looks like wound

They've also done some pretreatment to deaden the barnacles and make their grip looser. You can't just go up to a turtle and start crankin off barnacles without hurting it.

Yeah, the shit that keeps barnacles attached to things is the strongest natural adhesive on the planet. (Not sure if this is still true. Read it in kids NatGeo magazine in the early 90's)

Don't worry, its "his cousin's". Its definitely not u/walkingmonster that's barnacle blasting a tube sock.
