Hawksbill sea turtles are omnivores. That means they eat both meat and plants. Hawksbills eat sponges, jellyfish, sea urchins, mollusks, crustaceans, tunicates, shrimps, and squids. Hawksbill turtles will also feed on dead marine animals, grasses, other plants from the bottom of the ocean, and grass beds at different parts of the ocean.Hawksbill turtles are one of the only turtles that eat sponges.

There are several species of sea turtles (marine turtles). Some are omnivorous and will eat a variety of plant and animal life. Green turtles are omnivorous, but become exclusively herbivorous with age. Leatherback turtles feed almost exclusively on jellyfish. Hawksbill turtles diet is 70-95% of sponges. Bearing in mind the slowness of a swimming turtle compared with the swimming speed of a penguin, I doubt that sea turtles even get the chance to actually eat a penguin.
