Reason: When I came across this in a tide pool near Monterey, California, I had no idea what it was. In fact, it is a pyrosome, a colony of little creatures that floats around the ocean, connected by a gelatinous "tunic". Strange things. I think EV is the main thing here -- we have very few pictures of these, and this one depicts its unusual form/texture pretty well, I think.

Comment – nice photo but it doesn't have the alive-pop of the infobox photo in Pyrosome, puzzling! Bammesk (talk) 13:55, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: FWIW that picture in the pyrosome article may not actually be a pyrosome. The file name called it a comb jelly, its description called it a salp, and it was in the pyrosome article. :) Still there because I'm not 100% certain but see this thread for more. This of course does not change that this picture is indeed by a tidepool and not a living specimen out in the open ocean. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:13, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. I checked some google images... ~~About "a tidepool and not a living specimen": is the nom image a good representation of a living pyrosome? (as opposed to a dead pyrosome) If you think it is, then~~ this is a Support vote. Bammesk (talk) 14:40, 16 June 2018 (UTC) Bammesk (talk) 15:07, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
