Not sure if this really is a washed up bryozoan colony. Very dark color but wasn’t burnt. No color rubbed off on my hands.
Some sort of sponge or soft coral but appears soft and spongey. Quite vibrant pink and appears under a ledge of a rock near the low tide line. Cattle point. The coordinates are correct to the rock I found in under.
in the intertidal zone. i thought it was Trentopohlia, but iNat does not agree. suggesting a couple of sponges starting with this one. would love another opinion.
