  hard to ID. looks like a #thalasso but the tail? that's why i tagged as a #lobate.but i'm very confused. even doesn't look like overlapped..

  maybe thalasso also have tentacles when they are young, like lobates have? or it could be a young twocups or similar? hard to say on the phone screen

  this popped up for me now and i tagged it #thalasso. I wonder what the "tail" is...

  I think it's something separate. Thalasso don't tend to have 'tails'
