Name this marine critter

Another shot I took decades ago, at the NY Aquarium. What the hell is it?

I don’t see a link.

You show me a link, and I’ll try to name it.

Or hell, forget that…whatever it is, just call it George.

it
pronoun [ third person singular ]
1 used to refer to a thing previously mentioned or easily identified : a room with two beds in it | this approach is refreshing because it breaks down barriers.
• referring to an animal or child of unspecified sex : she was holding the baby, cradling it and smiling into its face.
• referring to a fact or situation previously mentioned, known, or happening : stop it, you’re hurting me.
2 used to identify a person : it’s me | it’s a boy!
3 used in the normal subject position in statements about time, distance, or weather : it’s half past five | it was two miles to the island | it is raining.
4 used in the normal subject or object position when a more specific subject or object is given later in the sentence : it is impossible to assess the problem | she found it interesting to learn about their strategy.
5 [with clause ] used to emphasize a following part of a sentence : it is the child who is the victim.
6 the situation or circumstances; things in general : no one can stay here—it’s too dangerous now | he would like to see you right away if it’s convenient.
7 exactly what is needed or desired : they thought they were it | you’ve either got it or you haven’t.
8 (usu. “it”) informal sex appeal : he’s still got “it.”
• sexual intercourse.
9 (usu. “it”) (in children’s games) the player who has to catch the others.

Oikopleura. It’s not really invisible, it just is so transparent that it’s very difficult to see.

Right now my guess would be Jagermeister.

Bob?

Dad?

In order of probability:

Gumboot Chiton
Sand Dollar
Rio, By Duran Duran

wrong thread

Sigh, just a smudge on the camera lens. You Nessie believers are always grasping at straws.

Wild guess that this is the picture in question, which looks like a sea anemone of some sort.

Link?

ah, a Missing Link!

Okay, I found a picture of the New York Aquarium.

Which creature are you asking about?

I think you identified it.

Damn! I copied, but forgot to paste. Actually, some of you were close.

OK, here’s the link.Hope this helps a little.

Actually, **garygnu **found it without the link. I’m impressed.

Magnifica Ritteri Anemone, perhaps?

>Oikopleura is a genus of urchordates(sea-squirts) in the class Appendicularia. It >forms a mucus house every four hours at 20 degrees Celsius.

MUCUS HOUSE!

cool band name?

Band name? I think that’s a whole genre!

They might play songs from “The Sound of Mucus.”
