    I have no idea what these are... my LR had 3 or 4 of these one I got it. 4 months later, I see a few more and they are getting larger.
    Appear to have 2 holes/eyes attached to each mass/body.

    Did my best with the photos!

    Thanks

    It's hard to decipher what I'm looking at. What's the scale? Could you put a ruler next to it and take another picture?

    I really can't get better photo than that, i took 30+... and those were actually the best. Light on, flash on, etc... Until I get a batter camera.
    They don't move, so I don't think it's a slug.

    Scale wise, No larger than 1/4"

    Really hard to tell without better detail, but as a wild guess, maybe a tunicate with a worm or some other "two eyed" critter peeking out from under it?

    They really aren't eyes, they resemble a hole or mouth. Reminds me a little of how mushrooms will open their mouths sometimes.

    The holes are the two darker spots on the blob...

    no shell, they don't move.

    No such luck... I have chitons, they look different for sure.

    These things do not move... at all. They stay put on one place on the rock never to move again.
