One day, this idea just came to me. So I put the cucumber on my dining table and took this macro. The blue is my wall and the tinge of brown is the table. But I love how it all works together. Everyone who has seen this has told me they love it, so I'm glad I took it.
Sea cucumbers are generally scavengers, feeding on debris in the benthic zone of the ocean. The diet of most cucumbers consists of plankton and decaying organic matter found in the sea. Some sea cucumbers position themselves in currents and catch food that flows by with their open tentacles. They also sift through the bottom sediments using their tentacles.
We eat cucumbers very quickly, so I planted quite a few in our little plot and I will plant more later.
Sea cucumbers are deliciously gross. They're the slug of the ocean, but they do wonders for the reef, cleaning up excess algae that grows on the coral and would otherwise smother it. They also make excellent subjects, as they don't move particularly fast. You can see colonies of the Christmas Tree Worms in the background.
This lovely cucumber was the first thing we've harvested out of our garden this year. It made a delightful tomato and cucumber salad, though the tomato was store-bought. We have lots of green tomatoes on the vines, but none ripe yet. Soon though!
