I can't find any that look just like it, but maybe that's what it is. I can't find anything else it might be. ??? So, I'm leaning toward that idenity. Hmmm, glad I didn't try to pick it up to look at it closer. :-) That's the good thing about research, it does teach you Tootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924498498731536039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796603205615633080.post-47304357645476744802009-06-10T20:23:20.771-04:002009-06-10T20:23:20.771-04:00You got some fascinating pictures today.

There were none showing, that's why I wasn't sure about it. There were no syphons showing either it was perfectly smooth on the outside and obviously siphons water through itself somehow.<br /><br />The dark brown one, isn't a sea hare, I have seen those and this isn't similar to that.

Unfortunately, we still live in St. Louis full time so we are beaching vicariously through you. We try to get down 4-5 times per year and we are overdue. We were last there the first of April. We are both so ready to come back.

The animal that looks like a beige deflated balloon is a sea anenome. The dark brown lump is probably a sea hare and the puffball-looking animal may be a sea biscuit, and is related to sea urchins and sanddollars.
