This small barnacle is recognisable by the pointed "beak" at one end which sometimes causes the outer shell to have a V where the beak is.
Elminius modestus is a species of barnacle in the family Balanidae, native to Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand, but now spread to Britain and the north west coasts of Europe. It reaches a maximum size of about 10 millimetres (0.39 in) in diameter.
