After butterfly-like marine creatures appeared on the beaches in Dubai, the city’s municipality reassured the public that they’re harmless and non-toxic.

The organisms only stick to the body but cause no harm and die after drying on the shore sand.

The creatures’ bodies are protected by a pointed white needle-like shell that you’ll probably see brushed on the shore.
