pelagic tunicate

Description and Comments

I've been an active diver in the Northern Channel islands for years, and rarely saw jellies there. I'd never seen a salp. When I first saw this salp I thought it was a plastic bag, and went to put it in my BCD pocket! I sent my photos to the MBA where I have been a member for many years, when my friends could not ID it. Since that time I have seen other salps new to the area. Now that I have found this site, I will post updates.
