EXCERPT:  They are typically found in the Indian and Pacific oceans, the Red Sea, the East Atlantic and the Atlantic waters off West Africa, according to the Atlas of Living Australia.

'Animals that live in open waters are not observed that often unless they are washed on the beach because of strong winds or ocean current,' Mr Uribe-Palomino said.

The scientist ecouraged anyone who finds such a creature to contact the ATLAS OF LIVING AUSTRALIA with their photographs and information about their find.

'Encouraging people to submit information might help researchers to track species distribution and also to find the frequency of observation and seasonality of those animals.' he told Daily Mail Australia.
