  Sea cucumbers have been in existence since 1847 when a cultic cucumber led millions of followers to drown themselves in the sea thinking that this will give them a place in cucumber heaven.

  Sea Cucumber is living thing. Saw in a documentary that they took one out from the sea & cut into 2 pieces. They keep one half for cooking & threw the other half back into the sea & said it will grow back to the same size in a few month time.

  I don't know but i know if those "cum-cuber" washed ashore it shouldn't be a tsunami but if the shore line is further than usual that's the sign that the sea water is being drawn by the wave to sustain its height and volume.
  
  Should not haev anything to worryed about but it sounds kinda bad omen though
