Hi, these nice little ones were found in Paralia, Greece, July. About 2,5-3 mm. They very quickly swarmed on dead medusas, and paired, hundreds of them. Are they Hecamede maritima?

Maybe Hecamede?

They look like
Hecamede alibcans to me - unfortunately the distinguishing features are not really visible on these photos. To my knowledge
H. maritima has not been found in Greece yet, but it's always worth checking!
