My daughter and I went beach combing today to see what we could find after the hurricane. We love finding new things. One of our discoveries was these sea mushrooms. Never seen them before. Lots were washed up on the beach but a few were still alive in the water. They are a beautiful pink/purple color. I’m sure there are numerous kinds, here is an article on some of them:

Anyone know if these can survive in our tanks?
Something else we found was these Shellback crabs. They have special legs on their backs so they can hold onto a shell. We found most of them still inside their shells.
