Clavelina ossipandae
通称：ガイコツパンダホヤ
This tunicate is known as the "skeleton panda sea squirt" among divers in Japan for obvious reasons.
When I originally posted this observation in 2015, I was unable to identify this beyond the genus Clavelina.

Kayaking in the Broughton Archipelago. My Westcoast marine life knowledge is limited so I'm hoping someone can identify this creature. Approx 5' in length. Squid of some sort?

Seems like a Juvenile washed onshore. Deceased. Large scars/cuts extending from one side, across the belly, and to the other side. Some folk thought it was alive due to the waves moving it's tail around, but it is definitely not.
Coast Guard, NOAA, and Seaside Aquarium are all aware of its' presence.

An extremely tall sea pen, reaching over 2.5 m in height. Believed to be the tallest sea pen in the world. Lives on thick mud substrates where its fleshy peduncle, imbedded in the mud, holds it upright. Generally found at depths below 25 m. The close-up image, taken in September 2010, shows the eggs inside the polyps.
