The Blue Admin Posts: 5,206 San Francisco, CA	This was in a sandy area, in a hole in the ground. I poked it with a stick and it started contracting wildly, detaching itself from the hole and floating off. Briefly, it unrolled and displayed jellyfish-like elements. But mostly, it was rolled up and looked scary. -- eric cheng publisher/editor, wetpixel www \| journal \| photos
