@ScottHarte - I see. Thanks for the info! But, since we can't pinpoint the exact species of this spotting, I'll just leave it as is for now.

Gooseneck barnacles tend to be more fleshy with a much thinner shell than their relatives.

Thanks for your ID suggestion, ScottHarte. However, these creatures in my spotting weren't hard-shelled like barnacles.
