Went to Fort De Soto and have no idea what this thing is. Was attached to a mussel shell and is very squishy. Didn’t respond to being poked, but still seems organic and alive.

Description

Visual description: This appeared to be a creamy, clear, slimy, ruffled clump stuck to a shell that just washed up on the beach. There were two clumps on one shell and four clumps on the second shell, 0.5 to 2 inches wide.

Habitat: Found in the coastal sandy beach ecosystem of St. Pete beach, however, it seemed to have just washed on shore so was likely native to the seagrass bed ecosystem that can be found just offshore of the beach. Elysia Crispata is native to marine reef ecosystems from the Caribbean to south Florida.
