Perturbations in the natural order have torn the fabric of the space-time continuum, and invasive growths are seeping into our world - perhaps from our own future. This particular specimen has been numbered "IG001" and is clearly an odd mixture of coral animals inhabiting various plastic exoskeletons which clearly follow principles of algorithmic, branching Lindenmayer systems, as is common in many corals. It is unclear however how the plastics are becoming incorporated into living systems, and what effects these coral-plastic symbioses will have on the larger planetary ecosystem.
