    Has the texture of a sponge

    I have blasted water on it and poked it, does not seem loose shape.

    It also has some hairs all along it. There are two of them and they are more of a orangish red color not the velvety red

    Here is another pic may be a little better this is the second one.

    The tail is actaully a group of hairs that it extends out and grabs onto something then slowly pulls itself over, takes about two days to move.

    Get an ID first. if it moves that slowly, it shouldn't be hard to catch. Actually, i am just writing this so it is easier for me to find this thread later and see if anyone was able to ID it.

    What I thought when I first saw it is that it looks like a little Urchin with just one spine.
