The image is taken from the British newspaper The Sun.

Raquel Williams, who posted the photo, said, "Who can tell me what this is? "My mom and I often see them on the beach and feel paralyzed when we touch them."

Raquel said, "It's sticky and hard, what kind of sea creature is it?" As soon as I touched it with my fingers, my hand went numb. Mom accidentally touched it with her foot, and her foot was numb. ”

Afterward, Dr Simon Grove, director of the Invertebrates Pavilion at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, replied to Raquel's question, saying it was a sea squirt that "may be widely distributed, but not a local chrysanthemum sea squirt".

This creature is reportedly not a common species in Australia and is considered an invasive alien species with significant impacts on marine infrastructure, natural habitats, biodiversity and aquaculture farms.

Experts say the creature, while non-toxic, may cause skin allergies by touching it.
