A mysterious purple blob was found in the ocean, and all I could think of was Prince lyrics.
Purple blob, purple blob
Purple blob, purple blob
Purple blob, purple blob
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple blob
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It’s time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too

The Purple People Eater?
lepidoptera says
The purple blob does look like the Purple People Eater. It also reminds me of the backside to a Venonat from Pokemon Go.
Trickster Goddess says
The way that crab backs away verrry slowwwly gives me pause.
dick says
Could it be related to the thing on Donald Trump’s head?
birgerjohansson says
Maybe related to John Wyndham’s The Kraken Wakes?
Or (scary background music)
IT’S TURNING INTO THE SOLARIS OCEAN!!!
SC (Salty Current) says
This goofy post was exactly what I needed today.
robro says
It’s a baby Blue Meanie.
Did they actually collect it by vacuuming it away from it’s anchor?

Either that or a Koffing.

I don’t know what it is, but this morning (your ‘last night’), I could see the blob, moving and all. Now, I ‘m prompted to use the Internet ‘positip’. It might me just me surfing, ‘teaching’ my homestay’s provider what’s wrong with some godless navigating.
If so, sorry Indonesian Atheists, I plead guilty.
lepidoptera says
ck, the Irate Lump – You’re right. The purple blob does look like a Koffing too.
Ichthyic says
current thinking is it is a type of pleurobranch, which is a type of nudibranch that has species in the family with globular forms like the purple thing.
