Holothuria [Holothuria]

Holothuria
Description

Holothuria sea cucumbers are common on many dive sites, typically resting on sandy or muddy bottoms and emerging to feed. Divers may spot them as elongated, cucumber-shaped animals with subtle color and texture blending into the substrate. With a little patience, you can observe their slow crawling and feeding behavior, especially during evening dives.
