billytheghillie Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Is it sticking to the shell? Some species of sea shell, urchin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Looks like it is stuck to the shell. She didn't touch it in case it was poisonous. Edited December 28, 2021 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what Google lens was bringing up anyway, they are a type of sea snail. It certainly has the look of something like a mollusc minus its shell. Could the spiked bits be what closes over the foot?
