ID: Never seen anything like this. No idea where to start

[handbanana]

I discovered this weird thing. I dont even know if its alive. I poked it with a thing and it gave no response. I have no clue what this could be. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks everyone
Nick

Thank you Meowzer, Geo and Cranberry.
It was gone this morning. I never touched it with my hand as I have learned thats not always the best idea with unidentified critters. Thank you again.
