Gosh, Rubi is speechless, and that does not happen often!
When she was able to utter some words all she said was..."That's a great colour for fishnets!"

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

What a strange thing!

It's not actually a single organism but a colony of like organisms and can be as much as 160 FEET long.

From the pic, it was hard to tell the size of this one.

Thanks, Hans!

Another great find.
