However, this beautiful coral reef became a stumbling block for the fish trap, preventing it from being successfully pulled onto the boat.
Feng Ye swam over and carefully observed the entanglement between the coral reef and the fish trap.
The fish trap was blocked at the entrance by protruding coral on the reef, but it was easy to untangle.
The coral was quite beautiful, and he had no intention of damaging it, so he gently lifted the trap and moved it to a place where there was no coral.
After successfully freeing himself from the cage, Feng Ye prepared to surface back up.
Just then, he suddenly discovered a sea cucumber hidden in the mud and sand near the coral reef.
Although most of the sea cucumber's body is buried in the mud and sand, and it has a layer of camouflage similar to the mud and sand, its thick spines of varying lengths still give it away.
Sea cucumber!
Feng Ye was overjoyed and swam over with his flippers, reaching out to grab it.
Unexpectedly, the sea cucumber was quite alert. As soon as he reached out, the sea cucumber's body contracted, and a ball of white stuff was sprayed out from its tail before it rushed several meters away.
This is a unique survival tactic of sea cucumbers—evacuating by expelling their internal organs.
Sea cucumbers cannot swim; they can only slowly crawl along the seabed by using their tube feet and the contraction and expansion of their muscles.
When attacked by a ferocious predator, the alert sea cucumber will quickly expel all its internal organs at once, allowing the predator to devour them, while using the recoil force of expelling its organs to escape without a trace.
Of course, sea cucumbers without internal organs will not die; they will grow a new set of internal organs in about 50 days.
If it were a natural enemy, this sea cucumber might have actually escaped. Unfortunately, it was humans who were trying to catch it, so it couldn't escape.
"Trying to run away? Do you think you can get away?"
Feng Ye smiled and swam over, easily finding the sea cucumber lying motionless on the mud and sand, and then grabbed it.
Having caught a sea cucumber, Feng Ye didn't linger and quickly surfaced.
As for the seafood below the cliff, there's no rush. We'll catch it all once we've gathered all the necessary tools.
