No idea these had eyes. I wonder what they are used for, considering they can barely move. Maybe clamping harder to the rock to avoid being eaten?
Or maybe just to stay away from light completely to hide from predators that rely more on sight for food.
Possible but that doesn’t seem to be how they behave (at least for the species I have seen).
Maybe they just like to look at shit because they think it's neat and makes them happy.
