Sea slugs and sea cucumbers

Today's post is on sea slugs and sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers are echinoderms. They look like
pickles that are in the ocean. Did you know they breathe and eat through their anuses? The oldest fossil is 400million years old. Sea slugs are nudibranchs,which are a type of mollusk. They are commonly found on choral eating plankton. Think of them as snails with no shells.

    Very interesting! Did not know the details.
    Could we see some pictures? Can you find cucumbers outside the water?
