    Got some more mysterious things on my live rock. Anyone have any idea what the little creature with the stripes happens to be?? I have half a dozen or so, they move around slowley on the rocks, the one pictured is about 3/8th's x 5/8th's, I have one a little bigger and the others about the same size. 5 Sea Urchins have appeared, also, I'm going to give away a few to a friend. What's the best way to capture these Sea Urchins without injuring them -- or me.

    Thanks,
