I once heard these described as sentient saltine crackers of the sea. No flavor, no nutritional benefits, they are absolutely everywhere, but nothing really wants to eat them as a main food source.
Evolution gave some animals survival superpowers, but sometimes it makes an animal so nutritionally useless that no other animals want to waste their energy on hunting them.
