@mbari_news: The ultimate seafloor snacker 🍴 Most sea cucumbers live a sedentary life on the bottom of the ocean, sifting through sediment to find organic material that rains down from above. They use oral tentacles to gather this detritus from the seafloor. Once the tentacles are completely coated with all those tasty bits, they draw each tentacle back into their mouths and "slurp" their delicious meal before extending the tentacles again and continuing to feast. Bon appétit! #DeepSea #DeepOcean #MBARI
