Sea Cucumbers are also in some places known as Sea Dicks, or so I learned in Cyprus when I worked there as a diving instructor. The reason being that if you pick one up and shake it vigorously, sticky white stuff comes out (it’s a defense mechanism).
They’re bottom feeders, they eat the shit of everything else in the ocean. Some species further have a symbiotic crab living in their anus which eats their shit in turn.
