Clavelina ossipandae
通称：ガイコツパンダホヤ
This tunicate is known as the "skeleton panda sea squirt" among divers in Japan for obvious reasons.
When I originally posted this observation in 2015, I was unable to identify this beyond the genus Clavelina.

shanafelt_benDescrição
Seems like a Juvenile washed onshore. Deceased. Large scars/cuts extending from one side, across the belly, and to the other side. Some folk thought it was alive due to the waves moving it's tail around, but it is definitely not.
Coast Guard, NOAA, and Seaside Aquarium are all aware of its' presence.
