Amazed to find this is an iNat first. Skeletons and a few live individuals were common subtidally at one beach south of town. I never saw them as beach drift. This lovely animal seems to be represented on the internet primarily as a cheap novelty or gift item. It took some sleuthing just to track down the scientific name.
