Hawaiian Spiky Sea Cucumber

The HAWAIIAN SPIKY SEA CUCUMBER is a large firm sea cucumber that is covered with fleshy spikes that can be up to 1.5" long.  


It is dark reddish brown and tends to be seen out in the open on sand or rubble near reefs, in water 50-150 feet. It's fairly commonly seen while diving, but scientists still don't know much about this sea cucumber. This species is endemic to Hawaii. #scuba #dive #scubadive #hhd #honuhawaiiandiving #fishfacts #seacucumber
