Ashen Sea Cucumber Holothuria fuscocinerea The ashen sea cucumber, which grows to 25 cm in length, is distinguished by its grayish brown colour and indistinct spots on its dorsum. Additionally, it possesses a dark brown ring around its anus and similarly circumscribed ventral tubefeet. It is usually found under rubble on the reef flat during the day, venturing out only at night, though the figured specimen occurred on the forereef slope. It readily ejects large translucent Cuvierian tubules when disturbed. A possible variety of this species is uniformly ashen brown and is found in the same habitat. 27
White Teatfish Holothuria fuscogilva This large, loaf-shaped sea cucumber is seen during the day and night on the deeper forereef slope, usually below 10 m depth. It grows to about 50 cm in length and is mottled brown and white. Large specimens evince five yellowish anal teeth. This is among the most commercially valuable species in the beche-de-mer trade and has likely been fished out of much of its former range in the central Philippines. 28
