  3.part: are these larvaceans different species or is every one different stage of life and that's why it always look different?

  Hi! this one is definitely a #larval #fish. We usually look for a tail to tell if it's a fish or not. this one has a small developing tail.

  so the transparent edges of the body is the developing fins. They are usually thinner in relation to the body width compared to larvaceans
