00:00Like we said, anemones are deadly.
00:07Let's do a close-up.
00:11A little more.
00:16Did you see that?
00:18The anemone caught the so-called pearlfish.
00:22They look like eels.
00:25Oh no!
00:27They are living in...
00:29Oh no!
00:31They ate it.
00:33They have no enemies.
00:35They are easily victimized by weirdos and alien-like predators.
00:42He is desperate. He needs to hide.
00:48Maybe he can now hide in the well of the sea cucumber.
00:56Don't be too choosy, okay?
00:58Even though the sea cucumber is big, it has no seeds.
01:02This is called a walking colon.
01:13Sea cucumbers are easy to live.
01:18It's like rubber that wraps around its long and spongy body.
01:23It also has holes on its sides.
01:30At the top, its feet are used to spread mud,
01:34small animals, and other garbage in the sea.
01:40In the other hole,
01:45it's just sand.
01:48According to scientists,
01:49the weight of the sand released by the sea cucumbers in an area every year
01:54is equivalent to the weight of five Eiffel Towers.
01:58That's what they say.
02:03That's not all.
02:06Sea cucumbers have another talent,
02:09a basic talent.
02:11The sand that comes out of it has calcium carbonate.
02:14Does it have any value?
02:17It lowers the acidity of the water around it
02:21and it also helps coral reefs.
02:26In other words, they play a big role in the well-being of coral reefs.
02:31They are our friends.
02:33Oops!
02:36Because they are so kind,
02:38they allow themselves to be a tourist attraction of Pearl Harbor.
02:42This is a big help for small fish.
02:45It's safe there because most of the predators avoid sea cucumbers.
02:51They are here because when they walk under the sea,
02:55the sea cucumber is with the pearl fish.
03:01The food is free,
03:03and the lodging is free.
03:05It's a great vacation.
03:06Take note,
03:08no one is waiting in exchange for the sea cucumber.
03:11It's so kind.
