On Humpback Whale chin. Coronula as it's not deeply embedded in the skin, and I think it's this Coronula based on the height.

The highlight for me. These are so amazing. Totally transparent though, in the 2nd image the animal is center frame! (You can see the black eyes left and the tail right) It had a tail which trailed behind it and it would move around attacking salp.
~5cm long, 9cm with tail

So far I haven't been able to find a match for this. I think I can rule out Jaxea, and super-amily Alpheoidea
I think maybe Calocarides

Looks somewhat similar to a snakehead cowry (Monetaria caputserpentis) but the shape is off. Maybe a half-swimmer cowry(Staphylaea semiplota) or a honey cowry( Erosaria helvola) ?

Is this blue colour natural? Spotted it at irregular intervals on various mosses like this along the track, and another type of moss. Didn't seem like the kind of track where chemical spray had been used.
