Beautiful! Thank you Dennis for the explanation, did not know about the filaments... Nature is always so fascinating!

That is a bean clam, they live in the surf zone on the beach. Favorite food of my birds. The streaming filaments are tiny hydroids (animals) related to anemones, that use the bean clam for attachment. Great capture.

I shoulda picked the 100. Na, then I'd be wishing I was at the beach for this one.
Love it.
