@AshleyT but I can't change it on my phone app no matter how hard I try. It's stuck on some default or something.

I was curious about that too, Ashley. Maybe they are bunched underneath but it still looked very strange.
AshleyT
I agree that's what it is Phil, but I wonder what happened to all of its tentacles? Maybe something ate them, then it just washed up onto shore? Weird!

Please update the location on the map to reflect Florida. Thanks!
