i dissected one today at the beach. it eats rocks and sand! soo coool. oh and its blood was gel. im surprise there's no heart and brain? idk. it was an untrain dissection.
@jhamonkey I'm a little fuzzy on this stuff, but as I recall the nervous system consists of a ring around the mouth, which innervates the tentacles (they also have sensory cells in their skin). The circulatory system runs down the length of the body in 5 bands (cucumbers are penta-radial, like star fish and sea urchins). They don't have hearts, so they moved their "blood" around by the movement of their body! Very cool animals.
