Thousands of pteropods
Description and Comments
Water off Anacapa Island filled with millions of unknown small, translucent organisms. Water was so filled with free swimming organisms I could get any clear photos. Many salps and jellies also seen. I have a video I can put on your facebook page. Are these jelly larvae?

Little ones look like Creseis or related... Other shelled pteropods as opposed to the "pseudothecosome" Corolla.
