shawnd08 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks guys. It's pretty cool, I guess the beach was filled with them. not sure if it's common for stuff like that to wash up on shore here in the northeast. First time I've seen it anyways. Link to comment

shawnd08 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 My coworker said it was hard. My fist thought was an sps but I wasn't sure about corals in these cold waters. I looked into it further and found some points of the cost marked where sps have been found in the ocean. Her question to me first thing Monday morning was "should i have brought it in for you" haha to funny. Link to comment
12_egg_Omelette Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 what beach? I use to live in RI. Link to comment
amphipod Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If that was still alive it would be an awesome piece in the tank. Definitely sps since it was hard. Link to comment
jaynkeel Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 My first guess would of been ground chuck!! It really does at first glance look like hamburger meat... Link to comment
cu455 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It is a sponge, we get them in NY too. They are kind of hard. Some information. http://www.exoticsguide.org/clathria_prolifera [/url] Link to comment
patback Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 yes a sponge.look on any bulkhead with decent water flow and you will see tons of these and tunicates along with macros. towards the end of summer you will also have tons of fish that shouldnt be this far up north but followed a warm current all the way up. usually alot of butterflys and gobies, but plenty of other types also.
