This is a
Portuguese mannitol - a sea inhabitant washed ashore by the waves. Its body consists of colonies of thousands of polyps and
jellyfish. During life, its large
float drifts on the water surface, and the
tentacles go deep under water. On land, the Portuguese mannitol dies, and sea snails begin to
feast on its
remains.
