Evidently we have another invasive species here in RI. Sea Potatoes a form of seaweed that are native to Korea and Japan. It grows on other seaweed and may compete for nutrients with it's "host". They look like a ping pong ball. They form a crust that grows on rocks and "hide" there until conditions are right to ball up. A similar native species is the Sea Cauliflower.
They have been found in Mackerel Cove, East Beach and Ninigret Pond in Charlestown..so far.
