Alaska’s mysterious ‘golden egg’ identified as rare sea anemone

Scientists have finally cracked the mystery of the "golden egg" found in the Gulf of Alaska. Advanced genome sequencing revealed the metallic orb is not an egg, but a detached fragment of Relicanthus daphneae, a rare deep-sea anemone. While the organism is identified, experts remain puzzled over how this specific structure became separated from the rest of the animal.
