Nice video of the stubby. We saw a few out last night. Viz on the top layer was terrible, but decent below that.

I'd like to say I get the still shots from peak buoyancy control and very steady hands. But, the truth is I use a tripod. It's the only way to capture tiny creatures without the shakes.

You know those worms swim into your ears and lay eggs that hatch into larvae that latch onto and feed on your brain stem, right? haven't you seen the Wrath of Kahn? It's a close relative of the Centaurian Slug. So you've been warned.

Seriously though... what were those? some sort of flat worm? Haven't seen anything quite like that...
