Probably should have put them in last night's stir fry...

I also posted this on Facebook and "friends" reported seeing many small specimens on the beaches at Pillar Point, Davenport Landing, Mitchell's Cove in Santa Cruz, and Asilomar. I encouraged them to post their observations on Jellywatch.org
