The sea cucumber is an echinoderm of the class Holothuroidea, with an elongated body and leathery skin, which is found on the sea floor worldwide. Sea cucumbers are generally scavengers,
feeding on debris in the benthic layer. Their diet consists of plankton and other organic matter found in the sea.
Sea hares (a type of sea slug) are small marine gastropod molluscs.
Sea hares are herbivorous and are typically found on seaweed in shallow water. They have soft bodies with an internal shell and are all hermaphroditic, acting as male and female simultaneously, even during mating.
