Here is just a fun post for you. The common name for this undersea plant (or seaweed) is Dead Man’s Tongue. It grows on the ocean floor (standing on its foot with the tongue bit pointing up) and gets detached in rough seas and washed onto the shore. As it grows quite deep it doesn’t really get much sunlight and doesn’t get a green, orange or red colour like most other sea weeds. When they wash up they have this flesh colour. Drama Princess was quite a sport to pose with it although she was a bit grossed out.Dead Man’s Tongue
