      Never swim in the tropical sea. California doesn't have to worry about these creatures but Florida does.

      No, alien doesn't mean weird life forms from human perspective, alien means not from here. It is from Earth so it's not alien. When you go to a foreign country you are an alien there but on a planetary level you need to go out of Earth to be an alien. So to us living on Earth alien means life forms out of this planet. You could argue that sea creatures are alien from land creatures perspective and vice versa but the one you mentioned are on a planetary scale.

    Think about it: multiple organisms working as one, vaguely resembling a huge brain, constantly floating ashore in flocks? These guys were trying to evolve into the next thing after humans.

    • @okamijubei

      Could it be another cause and leads to multicellular organism evolution? Like single celled organisms bunch up like those organisms and turn into multicellular?
