Critter ID

Post by Magoi »

I have seen these guys recently, at Cove 2 and this one at Norrander's Reef. Do not recall seeing any before this year. Cannot find it in my books. It was about 2.5 - 3 inches long. The one I saw at Cove 2 also had some kelp stuck to it at what I think is the head end. What is it?

Sea Cucumber, kind of the 'root' part that is generally hidden. Try Skyline, they are all over the place.

Probably the white or stiff-footed cucumber, Eupentacta quinquesemita
