Found beached at low tide with most of the body underwater.
Different specimen from yesterday. Yesterday’s specimen had a third hole near the eyes, while this one doesn’t.
I've seen an influx of these over the last week in March/first week in April around Nanaimo. I'm super curious what they are. Some kind of egg? Jelly? They're about the size of a dime.
Caught by light trap.

The cnidarian, not the ophiuroid.
The ophiuroid (Asteronyx loveni) usually lives clinging to this cnidarian.
