I was really happy I touched this animal - at first I thought it a coralline algae but once I felt it was soft, I realized it was something very different. From a taxonomy point a view, this is an animal, but it's its' own branch like Chordata (things with spinal cords like mammals and birds) and arthropods (insects).
