Cucumaria frondosa cucumbers are like an amorphous blob as they tumble from a bulk container onto the floor.

Tidepool Tim says,  “Sea pickles! These sea cukes range in natural colored body tissues with lateral orange tube feet which line their bodies and concentrate around the mouth for feeding. This creature is quite well known and it’s currently the only commercially important sea cucumber along Maine’s shore. They sustain themselves on phytoplankton and organic detritus. When cukes sense danger, they retract their active feeding “tentacles” and contract into a football shape. Once taken out of the water, they expel water and flatten out.”
