what is this???
So my son brings home a new chunk of LR the other day. We noticed just now what looks like 4 tentacles coming out of a hole, up to an inch long. They look almost segmented, or brown and white striped. Could this be some sort of starfish??
Sorry, unable to get a pic to show you, I'll try later. Thanks BJ |
