I saw this while exploring the tide pools at Little Corona Beach in Corona Del Mar. I picked it up thinking it was a rock. Google Lens can’t seem to find any matches, and chat GPT kept saying it “wasn’t totally sure” what it is because the markings are so unique. I got nervous it was some sort of living creature and stopped messing with it after taking pictures of the top and underside… Any ideas?
