sea cucumber awaiting identification* updated Oct 10 Where seen? This small unassuming sea cucumber is sometimes seen on our Northern shores, among seagrasses. Features: 6-12cm long. Body long and somewhat angular in cross-section with short tube feet in rows along the length. Usually beige or whitish. The sea cucumber appears to be but is not actually covered in sediments! The sea cucumber actually has a body that matches the colour and texture of the surrounding sediments! In some, when at rest and relaxed, indistinct dark blotches that are regularly spaced can be seen along the body length. |
