I thought that for the 360th mystery object it would be appropriate to ask you to identify a specimen with a radial arrangement:
It’s about 6cm across if that helps. Any idea what this might be?

Ah! Paolo, you’re such a fun guy but, like a gangster, are you trying to coral us into a stance on this solitary piece of polyp fiction without mushroom of getting out? I’ll watch my knee-caps and hope I’m not sleeping with the fishes like this specimen!
Very nicely punned response.
Radial symmetry only occurs in the non-bilateria and the echinoderms, right? And Chris seems to be suggesting it is one of the former. Since, were it a jelly, it is upside down, I too will go for polyp fiction. Isn’t it a bit large for a single specimen though?
The single sorts can get up to around 25cm across, so this one isn’t too ginormous!
Seems to me the traditional Hawai’ian name for similar solitary specimens makes reference to the similarity of the living animal to a feminine form? But I’m not clever enough to come up with a veiled reference that isn’t also vulgar.
Full fathom five its father lies?
Ooh, nice literary cryptic clue – very good!
is this the first time you’ve had a communal arrangement?
It might be, if this was communal 😉
