Looks like a red beard sponge aka Clathria prolifera.

I actually said "oh my god!" because I would be so psyched to find that. Cool find!!! I don't know what sponge it is but it's so much fun to find things at the beach. Thanks for sharing!

They’re all over the beaches in Stratford if you want to find your own

Yeah I think you're right. Here's a picture of it in it's natural habitat.

Found this sponge in Connecticut. What type and species of sponge is this?
