warty sea cucumber Cercodemas anceps Family Cucumariidae updated Aug 10 Where seen? This bright pink and yellow sea cucumber is sometimes seen on our Northern shores. Among seagrasses, clinging to tubeworm tubes or other hard surfaces, sometimes half buried in sediments. Features: 6- 8cm long. Body short, somewhat angular in cross section. It has an underside with three rows of tiny tube feet. The upper side has pink warty bumps on a pink or yellow background. At low tide, it is usually hard to find one that will extend its colourful branched feeding tentacles. |
