No they are not, they are completely harmless.

Salps live at the bottom of the ocean and come up at night, sometimes they would confuse a cloudy day with night. They play a very VERY important role in stopping the greenhouse gas effect on Earth. They absorb tons of Carbon daily, and drop it at the bottom of the ocean.
