In Texas, a creature that looks like a coil of rope washed up on the beach

Rebekah Claussen, who works at the American Nature Park, discovered something strange while walking on the beach, which resembled a tangled coil of rope. The unusual find turned out to be a living creature-soft coral.

The girl said that she has been working in the park for five years, but still did not know that there are some soft corals. She thought initially that it was just a coil of rope or some kind of tangled wire.

Claussen added that the yellow part of the discovered coral is quite dense, but if you take it in your hands, you can clearly see that it bends well. It is the yellow part of the coral that is the polyp. In some situations, you can also consider the black base, which is actually a skeleton. If the soft coral is placed in the water, it straightens up and becomes like a branching tree.

Claussen posted a photo of an unusual creature on social networks and they immediately interested many users. Some even wrote that they picked up these corals constantly, mistaking them for garbage or the remains of fishing nets.
