man parasites are awesome. Is this the same species as the other one in your gallery? ([link] ) They looks so different- is this a larval form?

Yes, it's the same. When they are inside jelly they are translucent, but when they are free, they became dark.
Dark side of Hyperia galba.

Wow, at first glance at the thumbnail, I thought it was a jellyfish! Until I saw the segmented legs. Copepod?
