Imbricaverruca yamaguchii is a species of barnacle in the family Neoverrucidae, found in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. This species is an obligate symbiont of abyssal hydrothermal vents, relying on the unique chemical environment of these vents for survival. Its specialized adaptations allow it to thrive in extreme conditions, including high temperatures and low oxygen levels, making it an important species for studying the biodiversity and ecological dynamics of hydrothermal vent communities.
