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)
