Juvenile California Sea Cucumber?

Post by Tom Nic »

I've never seen one of these before! Is this a Juvenile California Sea Cuke? :book: Val thought so... Darn it, I was hoping it was a nudi I've never seen! #-o In any case, it was cool looking...

We figured it was a cuke, but were just HOPING against all odds that we'd found some rare new nudi and we could be famous. #-o

You already ARE famous!!!!

Think of the TV appearance!! Think of how the govt is spending ooodles of $$ to clean you up!

"Washington Legislature proposes plan to clean up Sounder"

I don't think you need any more fame than that, do you?
