Horrible Sea Cucumber<br />

Stichopus horrens<br />

This species is comprised <strong>of</strong> several different color morphs which may turn out to be different<br />

species. Some forms are grey, green, orange, pink or mottled as in <strong>the</strong> figure above. All are<br />

nocturnally active and found under rubble during <strong>the</strong> day on <strong>the</strong> reef flat. The largest specimens<br />

are usually found in deeper <strong>water</strong>.<br />
