"Take anything! Take anything! Take my organs but let me be!" Wise words to live by.

So did you put it back into the sea?

i did not know that was a self defense system , i knew it wasn't dead though , thanks for the info=)

the sea cucumber is actually still alive. Sea cucumbers use that as their defense.. the shoot out that white sticky stuff first to try to make the predator go away and if that does not work then it shoots all of its organs to distract the predator.. sea slugs can then regenerate all of the organs that is has just gotten rid of.

Poor thing...

May people see from the others' perspective--including from a sea cucumber view. The sea cucumber has been strained to the point of engaging its survival mechanism to expel its gut, offer to the offending predator, and leave--except it is on the sand and cannot move away. If an organism has the nervous system, you can assume that it understands pain and pleasure. You can shut off your sensitivity and brutally attack, just because you can. Or be generous and be kind to your animal brothers.

What is actually happening is a defense mechanism. When provoked by the proper stimulus, sea cumbers expel non-vital organs in hopes that the predator will be satisfied with the contents. This is an attempted to misdirect predators from going after the main body. Sea cucumbers also have saponins which is toxic when ingested. If the predator gets a taste of these unpalatable saponins with in the expelled contents, it will most likely be detered.
