Five-striped Flatworm (Parakontikia ventrolineata)Observer
cbdDescription
Some kind of black flatworm? They were clustered under a tile in the Oakland community garden next to Lake Merritt. They were hanging out with small slugs (shown together in 2nd photo). Narrow, maybe 2” long? Shiny.

If the ID is wrong, let me know. Best guess, but I don't know millipedes. These photos are of the same one, but we saw several on the trails.

Striped Green Sea Anemone (Diadumene lineata)Observer
cbdDescription
Tide was out, so these invertebrates on some of the rocks in the tidal mud flats. <1cm, gelatinous, dark brown with light brown/orangish stripes radiating out from top center. (Not asking about the white barnacles) Seen in Drake's Estero, (Pacific Coast) Point Reyes National Seashore, California.
Update 3/15: I got some help from twitter identifying it as a sea anemone. I found this that makes me think Diadumene lineata http://www.exoticsguide.org/diadumene_lineata
