Those are barnacles. Filter feeders that eat plankton!

That one is a blue cockgobbler. Sailors used to catch these on long voyages in the Atlantic

Wow, super cool find! Those look like **Velella velella**, also known as “by-the-wind sailors.” They're a type of free-floating hydrozoan—related to jellyfish and Portuguese man o' war. The little sail on top helps them drift with the wind across the ocean surface. They're harmless to humans, but they can sometimes wash up in huge numbers!
Awesome that your kids found them—great little ocean science lesson in real life!
