Don't these people read Lovecraft? If they aren't careful, they might discover something better left alone.

Hmm ... interesting.

As for whether scientists read Lovecraft or no I have no idea.

Ah, sea cucumbers, my old friends. Gotta love a critter that uses self-disembowelment as a defense mechanism. We used to have great fun in marine biology class in high school holding them over the head of an unsuspecting victim and then triggering the expulsion reflex. Good times.

This is notable from a biochemistry standpoint because, while not exact, most of these creatures aren't easily reachable for study. That's very exciting, since a large amount of our useful chemicals, at least in medicine and biochem, come from exotic creatures. I can't wait to see where this leads.
