Spotting

Notes:

This is an old photo but I've always wondered what it was. Found it on the beach.

Hi Rebecca
It looks very much like a Swimming Anemone, also known as a Brain Anemone.

I assume this is in a jelly-like mass. I would guess it's eggs of some mollusk like a nudibranch. Check this spotting that may be related. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/836...
