Sea cucumber. This marine invertebrate is an echinoderm,related to the starfish. A sea cucumber lives on the sea floor,crawling on its projecting tube feet,but mostly remaining motionless and gathering its food from the water. It feeds on microscopic sea life (plankton) and also extracts nutrients from the surrounding sea floor. Photographed in Jambiani,Zanzibar,Tanzania | |
