Fix your link! :)

Very nice!

Looks like a small sea hare.

Secret Agentpus featuring Grover Abdopus aculeatus. Shot with Canon Powershot G9. Love this camera. Girlfriends camera.. she threatens to take it away from me.

Live rock is a wonderful and amazing thing. If you get a magnifying glass you'll find that these new sponges aren't the only things that "just appeared". If you look enough you'll probably see hydroid jellyfish on the glass.

If you can contact Dr. Roy Caldwell with some pictures he can ID it for you, guaranteed.

Yes it can be done. Might put it somewhere high up in the tank though.

Most likely molting and finding a new shell. Inverts that molt will go into hiding after they molt until their new outer shell hardens. When emerald crabs molt you will probably find completely intact emeralds and the only way to really tell sometimes is by smelling them. No smell, molt. Bad...

My Octopus briareus "Kalypso". Offering her a clam. This is what a typical feeding session is like. I've had her since January 18, 2008 and she was approximately 10 weeks old. She was this big:
