User's notes

I found these little jelly things all along the tide line today. The bigger sized ones are about 2cm long, some are completely clear with sort of horns and some are clear with a blue part inside them. The smaller ones are about 5mm and have a blue part inside them, they are mostly round. What are they?

They are small salps but I don't know what species. An invasion of them occurred a few years ago, especially at Bermagui. Phylum Chordata, Class Thaliacea
