Can anyone guess what marine creatures these white things are?

They live and feed on the pink soft coral that is in the picture. This picture was taken at Browning Wall north of Port Hardy British Columbia Canada. They are a marine animal.

Let me know in the comments below, good luck and have fun!

I am ashamed to say that I thought it was too cold for 'sea spiders'.

They are for sure not dogs, more than that I can't tell :)

@scottdphoto, after an arduous search, I think they are Yellow Hairy Sea Spiders (Tanystylum anthomasti)

"But, even though they are jointed-legged invertebrates (arthropods) and most do have 8 legs, they are not true spiders (arachnids) nor are they crustaceans. They are a special group of arthropods called the “Pycnogonida”. The name “Pantapoda” is also used for the group which is Latin for “all legs”, a good label as they have almost no abdomen. "

Arduous search?..
I would've typed in "sea spiders" first, as that's exactly what they looked like.. LOL
:P

I suppose everyone is different. To each their own!

I would say it's probably a sea spider, but I'm not a marine biologist. The shots are definitely amazing - love them!

Sea spiders? I hadn’t heard of them. Until now! I thought they looked like an odd starfish, but with too many legs.
