It is a By-the-wind-sailor. - http://britishseafishing.co.uk/by-the-wind-sailor/

As with many organisms that are washed up on the beach they can lose their colour quite quickly.

They are intriguing creatures. I have seen a few with a bit of colour in them but nowhere as vivid as the photos online.

Like the "giant's fingerprints' description.
