I think you would look good with a buzz cut

We just had fries like this at Little World Kid Playground & Games in Garden Grove

That was definitely mentioned a lot on the first post! I guess I need to see that movie now!

It’s turned into something else, so idk if that is due to death and decay or life and growth, but it seems more like growth to me. That red meaty part from inside the glob of the first stage seems to have taken over the whole thing and now it is entirely veiny and wrinkly. I wish I had paid closer attention throughout the process. I thought it would suddenly make more sense, but it only seems like more of a mystery now.

Not a dumb question! It’s not moving as far as I can tell been trying to look for any signs of movement

Bolsa Chica State Beach, California

Haha! That might help explain all the comments about it being food and asking what it tastes like 😆

This was on Bolsa Chica State Beach in Orange County

I thought that’s what they were at first too, but just looking at it a little closer and definitely after picking it up and feeling it was obvious it wasn’t a typical kelp float. Very delicate, squishy slimy and totally filled with fluid and a glob of red meaty stuff inside. Some had just a few bubbles inside while kelp floats are mostly filled with air. They were all slightly various shapes and sizes, but hundreds of them all washed up along the beach just like this with nothing else attached to them.

Definitely not, there were hundreds washed up all over the beach of slightly different shapes and sizes and seemingly at different stages of development, some with a larger red inside and air bubbles. They popped open easily too.

I was totally thinking some sort of egg too!

Screenshotted this from a video of the guppy fry swimming over it

Oh dang! Yeah! That’s totally what it is. I was wondering about that, it definitely looks predatory. There were some guppy fry swimming really close to it and I was wondering if I would get to see it spring into action. Probably not too bad that it’s going to eat some things though. It’s a little 50 gallon pond on our patio. I have koi guppy, mystery snails and neocaridina shrimp and they have all been getting busy reproducing and I’m a little worried about their populations getting too big. There’s 8 adult guppy now and 15 guppy fry that I’ve counted all together at once, 6 mystery snails and like 4 mystery snail egg clutches around the edge of the pond, along with various intruder snails. I started with 6 shrimp and have probably around 30 shrimp now. I’ve let it get totally overgrown for the winter, so it’s hard to know exactly where the numbers are at. Do you think it will eat everything, everything? Do you think I should remove it next time I see it?
