It’s not an alien from here to take over the world (that we know) or some science experiment gone awry. It was spotted in Lake Huron by the Alpena Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office in Michigan and likened to a “cursed gummy bear.”According to the United States Fish & Wildlife Service, these gnarly-looking blobs are no larger than 4 millimeters (or 5/32 of an inch) wide. The bryozoan was found in Lake Huron. They are somewhat like coral, except instead of building sturdy structures that last for long periods of time, bryozoan structures are far more fragile. Pectinatella magnifica is the most common bryozoan in the United States, but there are 4,000 known species around the world.
