A rare form of marine life

An Aucklander called police yesterday very distressed that they had found a set of severed male genitalia lying on the beach.

However it was just a rare form of marine life!!

I must admit to a degree of curiousity as to exactly short sort of marine life takes this form. Could this be why one of my friends was so keen to go diving at the weekend, that I was dragged along to play lookout for her? She claimed she actually was looking for a shipwreck but I am now suspicious.
