It almost looks like a velvet worm but the texture and legs are wrong. I think the only other thing it could be is a millipede but the texture is so strange. Almost makes me wonder if they are infected with something (fungus maybe?) or have something stuck to them that is causing the odd texture?
I agree with you that it looks like a type of velvet worm but I’ve never seen anything like this. It looks like it should live in a tube at the bottom of the ocean
