Does anyone have any ideas what the brown cylindrical thing below the cushion star is?
Found under a stone on a beach in the Scilly Isles.  |

Pretty hard to tell really, especially as it seems quite small. I don't think it's a sea slug as you should be able to see the gills on its back. It's maybe some sort of leech - it looks like it's attached to the rocks at the far end? But it could also be an egg case maybe, or just a little part of something bigger sticking out. |
