What Are These Strange Creatures Washing Ashore In California?

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (CBS)—Strange creatures are washing ashore in Huntington Beach, California.

The slimy little slow-moving things turned up all over the beach this week.

Beach-goers were mystified -- and grossed out.

A marine biologist at California State University, Long Beach says they are a species of "sea cucumber,"  and washed ashore by last weekend's storms.

He says they're harmless.
