I believe the answer is:

kraken

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sea monster' is the definition.
'kraken' can be an answer for 'monster' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'sea' bit.

'know conceals a wrecked ark' is the wordplay.
'know' becomes 'ken' (I've seen this in another clue).
'conceals' is an insertion indicator.
'a wrecked' indicates an anagram.
'ark' is an anagram of 'rak'.
'ken' going around 'rak' is 'KRAKEN'.

'you' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
