Class HOLOTHURIA

 


bullet gif Holothurians also known as "sea cucumbers" are generally long and wormlike; they don't look much like starfish or sea lilies.

bullet gif In most species the skeletal plates are reduced to microscopic spicules and thus sea cucumbers do not like to other echinoderms species very much.

bullet gif Holothurians are very common in the oceans coasts; in fact, in certain parts of the deep sea, the ocean floor swarms with vast herds of holothurians.
