These beautiful sea cucumbers are echinoderm (spiney skin). They are known as the Robust Sea Cucumber. The elegant protrusions on the ends of their cylinder body are a ring of eight feeder tentacles. These tentacles expand to catch drifting particles in the water and then are brought into the mouth to feed. With the tube feet they attach to the underside of rocks and sponges to catch food. As a filter feeder they enjoy faster moving water. This Sea Cucumber will reproduce sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the water or asexually by splitting in two. The adults will reach 3 inches in length.
This cucumber is guaranteed for live arrival.
