    I looked through the ID this area quickly but didn't see a match (that doesn't mean I missed it though). Anyway, these are small white dots with at least seven "arms" coming out from them. There may be more, but that was all I could clearly count.

    As useful as that site is (I bookmarked it), it didn't show what I have. If I see them again I'll try to get a picture of them...

    Yep! And after doing a few more searches, it looks like they are Hydroid Jellyfish. Now I have to research what those guys are...;D
