ripple_effectDescription
This creature was found hanging in a black mangrove. Thought it was trash at first. Looks to of gotten stuck after Mathew. The creature was flexible but firm to the touch. Looked like coral with texture. I could see how water would be able to pump through. Most likely bleached out by the sun or just in death.
