The tentacles surround the mouth of the sea cucumber, and are covered with a thin film of mucus. Small particls in the water stick toa the coating and covers the tentacles. When a tentcle becomes saturated, the cucumber puts it in its mouth and literally sucks off the food particles. Summary of that little paragraph: Tentacles are the first stage of the Digestive System. They grab food and put it in the mouth.
