What is this creature?
I couldnt get a picture because it was underwater, but I made this awesome drawing, which is basically the same thing.
Was scalloping in homosassa (gulf of mexico off florida, USA) and saw these things in the sea grass everywhere. Off white tube coming out of the ground with 4 light blue strings coming out of them
I thought it was litter the first time I saw it, like someone just dropped a bunch of string, but after I saw them for the 10th and 20th time, I was curious if it was a trap or something
Eventually realized that the strings are consistently spread out in all directions, despite the sea grass around it being pushed to one by the tide. Looking at the strands closer, I saw that they kind of move around independently of the tide, so I figure its an animal of some kind
Its always like 3-6 strands. No more, no less.
