Sea creature question (1 Viewer)

Not sure what these are, but we see these alot, especially when we sit in the same place for a while. They gather into the light by the thousands.
I'm in the Gulf of Mexico about 2000 feet deep with a ROV.
I'm working on some better pics, but this is what I have got right now.

Just wondering if anyone knows what they are called.

Looks like ctenophora... Comb jellies.

What's sad is ctenophora jumped into my head when I saw your pic.

Thanks for the info. I'm building a collection of weird and unusual sea creature pictures that I see at work. Some are easy to identify than others.
