)
Pearlfish belongs to the Carapidae family mostly found in the tropical waters.

Sea cucumber belongs to the Echinoderms family found on the sea floor and have ave a cylindrical soft body.

While the Pearlfish enjoys its butt...remember Sea cucumber's breath by sucking in water in through their anus and then taking it out.

One very special case, discovered in 1977 by New Zealand biologist Victor Benno Meyer-Rochow from Jacobs University in Germany, saw no less than 15 pearlfish living inside a single sea cucumber's anus. Ouch.
