Since we are in central florida I thought I would jump over to St.Petes to see the area where we will be collecting with Cuddle.

While walking on the beach at low tide I noticed a pink "thing" just under the surface of the water. Of course being curious I touched it and it felt kinda spongy. I thought what if I could get a small piece, I could take it back for my tank. Low and behold the sponge came up quite easily along with a chunk of LR.

I couldnt leave this poor creature to die so I bagged him up, along with about 10 gal of NSW so I could do wc's until I can get home. I know most will probably die off cause it got exposed to air but I think all in all there is alot still quite healthy.
Any ideas what it might be? I'm thinking some sort of sponge but not sure.
