They are an aquatic species of [[Neuron]] encountered in three [[level]]s only: [[Neuron Jungle]], [[Lots O'Jelly Fish]], and [[Lots O'Fish]]. Sea cacti wriggle their bodies back and forth, and they cannot be defeated by any means; if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] tries to throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at one, it harmlessly ricochets off the sea cactus. Sea cacti have spikes on the upper half of their bodies, meaning if a Yoshi collides with one, the Yoshi takes some damage. Sea cacti also can hang off ceilings, and if a Yoshi encounters one, it wriggles faster and detaches from the ceiling. This happens only in Neuron Jungle, however, as sea cacti are out of [[water]]; in levels where an upside-down sea cactus is in water, it simply stays put.

Sea cacti come in three sizes: big, medium, and small. Sea cacti also have 12 possible color combinations, ranging from orange to pink, making a total of 36 possible sea cactus varieties. Additionally, if a Yoshi walks far enough for a sea cactus to go offscreen, it changes color and size when the player returns.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DNF8UtrR98&t=565s|timestamp=09:25|title=''Yoshi's Story'' - Episode 22: Neuron Jungle (All Melons All Hearts)|author=ColdPhazon|date=May 4, 2020|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 22, 2024}}</ref> Sea cacti are often seen in large groups. Sea cacti are able to survive outside water, but the only time they are seen on dry land is near a body of water.
