Congratulations Marek, what a lovely alien creature and apparently a terrible pest. Pedro, what a nice link you gave us!
That is beautiful, nice shot.
Congratulations Marek, your fabulous sea walnut is Spotting of the Day! The sea walnut is a species of ctenophore that consumes crustaceans, plankton, fish larvae; and sometimes smaller individuals of its own kind.
