Washington state coast - saw a creature that looked like this. What is it??

lemmy.world

It was maybe a little different - my memory is pretty bad. The creature was maybe a centimeter long and the lil wings on either side of the disc in the middle were paddling/swimming/flapping. It moved kinda like a jellyfish, but baby jellies have their bell already formed and I’ve seen all kinds of jellies out there. This looked like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

The ‘arms’ looked kinda almost like the wings on the blue dragon nudibranch but only if the disc was the whole head and there was no more body? I don’t think nudibranch larva do that?? Build out head-first? And it wasn’t a one-off, I saw at least five of these out in the water, not too far from shore.

      They don’t hurt per se. I think it’s different per person, but I feel it in my ears first, like I’m flexing them and making them rumble, then I get the sound of static and then my eyes feel like they involuntarily look left and right. I also kinda feel a little bit of a tingle across the top of my head or my brain - so I do get the zap of them as well. This all happens within maybe half a second or less, but it’s multiple times a minute.

      Not truly life altering, but the combination of ear rumbles and eye movements are making me hella dizzy all day
