Mysterious Sea Creature Found On Florida Beach
Have you seen the mysterious Sea Creature? It was actually found on a Florida beach that I use to live near. Andrea Brummett says she was walking on Fort Myers beach when she found this Sea creature which appeared creepy.
There is so much wildlife on Fort Myers Beach, but this was something that Brummett said she had never seen before. It was spotted near the Pink Shell on the the beaches north end. You can see dolphins, alligators and manatees but this was definitely something new in Brummett’s opinion.
As soon as Brummett seen it she decided to film it and even poke it. In the video, the creature appears to want to suck her finger in. Also it in the video it looks like it is sucking itself into the sand.
What’s The Name Of The Sea Creature?
According to James Douglas who is a professor at Florida Gulf Coast University, it is a “ tube-dwelling anemone.” It’s basically a relative of Jellyfish and corals. It pretty much just sits in one place and eats whatever passes by. Douglas says poking it is not encouraged but it does not hurt either. This tube-dwelling anemones are very common in Florida waters and can be seen at low tide.
Where Have You Heard The Word Anemone Before?
Finding Nemo! Remember this is the word that he could not pronounce. I totally understand why he couldn’t because I barley can either as Im writing this story. Im also inspired to go back and watch the movie now which was one of my favorites back in the day.
There is so much wildlife in our waters. So many undiscovered animals as well. I feel like we focus on space so much but have yet to really explore the oceans? What if Aliens live underwater? Ok now im getting crazy, I know. Got any pictures of these Tube-Dwelling Anemone’s? email me [email protected]
