yes it is called the green sea turtle There is a species known as the green sea turtle, latin name Chelonia mydas. They are the slowest growing of the sea turtle species due to a diet low in protein. They are characterized by the starburst pattern on the shell and two scales between the eyes. Sadly they are poached for their greenish skin :(

No, a green sea turtle does not eat sea cucumbers. Green sea turtles are vegetarians when they grow up and other species of sea turtle do not eat sea cucumbers. If a turtle has been really sick for a long time, there will be undigested cucumbers in its stomach. It is hard for a turtle to eat them. Also a sea cucumber is a sea slug, not a vegetable or plant. Sea cucumbers are NOT slugs, but echinoderms, cousins to sea stars and sea urchins. Green turtles eat seaweeds, but have been known to eat octopus and occasionally squid. They also LOVE to eat jellyfish. As far as researchers know, sea cucumbers are not in a green turtles consumption. (reefannie)
