Greetings!
I've been wondering exactly what these critters are, but only now realized this sub-forum existed! These guys were found about 8mi off the coast of Nags Head, NC at the "Advance II (AR145)" wreck. The dive was down to 78', but I can't say exactly where we picked these guys up. When we got back on the boat, there were literally dozens of them clinging on to just about everything we had exposed - bcd, suits, gloves, hoods, hoses, etc. I'd say they were just under one-half inch in length and squirmed frantically. Even back onshore, we ended up "scraping" them off our gear as they refused to rinse off!
The dive was in June of 2019, with water temps 69F-81F. They're certainly not a "pretty" find, but I'm curious to know exactly what they are (unfortunately, I was too seasick to really care at the time lol!).
