Pyrosomes on the Oregon Coast

12/24/16
A pyrosome tube! I say something about a "mouth" in the video but that was before I knew what it was.

I think pyrosomes are small and hard when the colony is small and young as it ages it lengthens thickens and becomes a glowing gelatin colony

[@WeegeePlayzStuff]

Down in Southern California, I was snorkeling in the channel islands and there were millions of these guys everywhere! I was with a whole bunch of marine biologists, and none of them knew why they were there.

They look like transparent pickles

Thanks for sharing. There is a story today on National Geographic news about this phenomena.

[@superiorsavannaxh1979]

Those things looks like a very tiny water bottle. I wonder if I can drink out of those creature things. 😂😂

Hi Ami, I am with weather.com, my apologies if my colleague also reached out, I was wondering if we could use your Pyrosome video on our platforms? Gladly give you all the credit. Thanks, Dan

[@amiericson]

Yes, you can! Thanks, Dan.

[@DanWright4275]

thank you

[@bergerfonkoenig6997]

A very interesting finding. It was threw out onto the sea coast with the wawes after a storm. Sometimes wawes are been throwing out not such else... BfK. ⭐🐛⭐🐛⭐

[@nonewcontent1883]

Commenting here, because I found them on the beach today at dockweiler state beach, CA and saw many of those. I didn’t know what they were and, well, here I am finding out what they are.

You should have a radio show

They glow in the dark

[@tangycuplg1690]

Wow I have never seen a baby pyrosome

[@nickatkinson5692]

excellent thanks for posting

[@sharonbrewer1956]

Wow thank you

[@delisadunn9399]

Cool

[@theunknowngamer5477]

Vernal pools in Sacramento County have these critters....jelly fish, half dollar sized bi valve shell things, all fresh water and seasonal...now dead under the progress of apartments. I never knew what these things were until now, thanks. Someone can now put a name to my description of the critters I find that do not exist.

[@amiericson]

The Unknown Gamer Fascinating! Where are there vernal pools in Sacramento county?

[@theunknowngamer5477]

@@amiericson Sorry for the delay in posting. McClellan Air Base, West side, follow 16th Street. Each month creates new apartment footprints. The list of critters lacks a few...beyond what you would believe, almost DINO things.

[@RebirthX]

Just curious, are they hard or jelly like? Can they be eaten, like sea cucumber?

[@amiericson]

I don't know about eating them, they act like filters I believe, so I sure wouldn't want to eat them! But the ones here were very firm and nubby, like studded tires.

[@LobterGaming]

I think it was propably still alive and stored the water to survive...

[@antonygreen8458]

Hi Ami, I'm working for a TV show called Strange Evidence and we'd love to use this video. Would you allow us to do so?

[@osamabinladen824]

Yes you can

[@fannyrenman491]

Hi Ami, I'm from the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, I'm wondering if we can use your video of the Pyrosome? Of course with credit to you. Have a nice day!

[@amiericson]

Fanny Renman Yes, of course! Thank you!

[@kevins971]

Jeez, all you’re getting is people from “newspapers” instead of people who are actually interested in this, kind of feel bad for you.

[@marceloc2211]

I don't think that's a pyrosome..?

[@amiericson]

Marcelo c: It is! www.beachconnection.net/news/glowcr120216_401.php

[@zezekingyo2374]

Look like a glass hooka piece

[@ailieciccolella4610]

Hi Ami, My name is Ailie and I work at Wag TV in the UK. We are producing Strange Evidence on the US Discovery Science channel and would love to use this footage & interview you if you were up for it. Don't hesitate to contact me: [e-mail]
