Hundreds of thousands of tiny sea creatures wash ashore in California. What are they?
Briefly

Known as velella velella or by-the-wind sailors, the blobs are not jellyfish but colonies of polyps similar to the Portuguese man o' war, according to JellyWatch.
They ride on the surface of the water, catching the wind with translucent 'sails' that sit upright on their oval bodies, JellyWatch reports.
