They look like some sort of Larva to me,,,although I have found some kind of "snail thing" in my LR,,,firm hard "back" but with bands,,,like ya see in fossils.(kinda like an armadillo
I would remove till ya know what it is.

Can you give more detail... like do they wiggle, were they permanently attached, length, etc.
They look like some type of sponge to me but that's not it if they can move.

They are motionless, black with a transparent cacoon wrapped around them. I found a few with just the yellowish wraping around it...They've hatched? They are about the size of the equal sign = My guess is that they are larvae of some type of worm. And I find them right above of the water level not perminatly attached but just sticking somehow with out floating away in the current....VERY WEIRD
