bor and near New Haven light. The body is three or four inches long 
when extended, and an inch or more in diameter, and is very changeable 
in form. The surface is nearly smooth, slightly suleated lengthwise, 
and the color is usually pink, or pale flesh-color, translucent. The 
tentacles are numerous, short, tapering, pale greenish olive, with a dark 
band around the base, connected with a dark line radiating from the 
mouth. Toward the upper part of the body the surface is somewhat 
wrinkled and is capable of attaching grains of sand to itself. When 
thrown up by the waves it contracts into a globular or pyriform shape 
and ‘somewhat resembles a boiled onion or turnip.”
