Yes, they're beautiful, and don't seem to sting you like the Man of War.

Maybe they are the ones going to China?

CEDO told me they were processing them in puerto penasco to be sent to china for food, she said they stink worse than other things in the ocean when dead.

:hairout:I've seen dumptrucks full of them going to MooN... I heard Sea Cucumbers are on the list to be the next sea creature harvested to be shipped to china... someone is making some big $$$ and the sea is paying dearly... :sad:
