well, THAT'S what one of the regular octogenarian early morning 'icebergers' at my local called THIS thing , at least [maybe he was pulling my leg?]
I reckon it looked like some kind of ocean going alien being , myself ...
any of you guys out there in swaysland ever encountered one of these things ??!!
cheers guys !
ben
it was on the surface when I first ...er... " met " it ...
...but , it quickly sought refuge on the ocean floor when I got closer than it wanted , I guess ?!
...BIZARRE , hey ?!
and , here's what it looks like in motion ! ....

Cross between a sea cucumber and a female body part, for mine…
bloody weird though
Hi there chip - that second photo looks like captain goodvibes to me 
I'd say you found the common sea slug. Thought it was bird covered in tar at first!
It’s a nudibranch. Cool. Mike
I think their also called "Spanish dancer"
hi ken
yeah my mate Rowan said the same thuing ...
and viewing the footage of it in motion , I think it's a very appropriate name !!
nudibranch
body part
tarred bird
sea slug
it looks like all the above
captain goodvibes ? .... I think I might need a bit of acid [reflux , of course] to help me see THAT one , cam !
.... but it's like an inkspot thingy , ain't it ? people see different things
I just realised how I've probably walked past these things a few times in the last month , as when they lie still on the seabed , they just look like kelp at first glance ....
