Giant Sea Cucumber
Parastichopus
Martini Rock, Khor Fakkan
United Arab Emirates
8 meters
9th November 2008
Succesfully identified by my able assistant Professor Von Salt
I thought this was like a snake skin but when I moved it with my pointer it seemed to be alive, nothing inside just the skin.
If you look at the far end of this invertebrate you will see some tentacles so that is the front of the animal completely hollow and moves with muscle convulsions, apparently eat a lot of alage and with the infestation at the East Coast not surprising that it is thriving.
