I first noticed this about 6 weeks ago and it was about the size of a dime , and now it's about the size of a quarter.

This morning I found it on the sand bed a few inches below where it normally sits on the rock.

Does anyone know what this is?

I tried gently poking it a couple weeks ago when it was still attached to the rock to see what would happened and it quickly closed up and it had a hard base/skeleton if that makes sense.

So if that's what it is the baby will grow on the rock where it just moved from?
