    Anyone have any idea how to catch these guys? We have 8 in our tank... yes, 8. They range in size from miniscule to dime sized with one about a half dollar in width. I believe they are black long spined but they're so small it's hard to tell. Anyone WANT one? :)

    They are growing quick, getting visibly larger by the day!
