Dolphin Thumbs

Besides being another great bad name...
There's a great short story about sessile (not-moving) creatures by Larry Niven, in which a device is created that serves this purpose. In fact, it's mentioned specifically near the end that it's very popular with dolphins for undersea exploration. (Of course, in Larry Niven's universe, dolphins get recognition as citizens.)
