Sea Cucumber question?
I'm pretty sure it is, but is it normal for a Sea Cucumber to expel some of it's guts?

When threatened, some sea cucumbers discharge sticky threads to ensnare their enemies. Others can mutilate their own bodies as a defense mechanism. They violently contract their muscles and jettison some of their internal organs out of their anus. The missing body parts are quickly regenerated.
