So there are much more creatures in the sea than I had ever known. At the beach (not telling which beach I went to), I saw these thing floating in the waters and practically at first, I thought it was prawns shedding. Hah. I know it sounds dumb but it's like you could ever guessed it was Salp?!!
There were millions of this creature in the waters and even sand. And I swear I shout like a sissy when one of it got caught on my shirt after I've discovered it was a living thing an still ALIVE! Dismayed, I ran and practically flapping my wet shirt trying to get it off. I was imagining that it was poisonous. Oh the scene!
And with that said,
Enough babble. Information overloaded!

A salp (plural salps; also salpa, plural salpae or salpas) is a barrel-shaped, free-floating tunicate (subdivision in plants and fungi, animals that feed by straining suspended matter and food particles from water, typically by passing the water over a specialized filtering structure with incurrent and excurrent siphons).
