Answer 1

it depends on the type sea turtle:

Green and black sea turtles have a vegetarian diet of sea grasses and algae. In adulthood, they are the only herbivorous sea turtles, but in an aquarium environment all sea turtle species can be maintained on a carnivorous diet.

Loggerheads' and ridleys' diet consists primarily of crabs, mollusks, shrimps, jellyfish, and vegetation.

A hawksbill has food from crevices in coral reefs. They eat sponges, tunicates, shrimps, and squids.

Leatherbacks have jellyfish, tunicates, and other soft-bodied animals. The mouth cavity and throat are lined with papillae (spinelike projections) pointed backward to help them swallow soft foods.
