Only the Theory of Evolution is continually evolving.

Yes, but evolution doesn't work that way. New creatures evolve, but the old creatures are still there, maybe extinct.

That is a good question, and one molecular biology can probably soon answer. This critter should go to the top of the list of species to have their genetic code sequenced. It is possible that 425 million years ago it evolved a repair mechanism to limit genetic mutation.

And that is something we might very well want to splice into our own DNA some day

Darwinian evolutionary success depends on natural selection of beneficial change. If there have been changes that were not really beneficial, the species will stay as it has been.

Also, A seperate species can evolve in a different location as a result of changes there but the original can still exist elsewhere.

Well.. I'm TRYING to, but my doctor suggests that I REMOVE the polyps. Maybe they'll allow me to digest food more efficiently and I can eat less, but who knows??
